Wetminster Abbey, here we come!


Westminster Abbey is HUGE! The ceilings were a million miles away, and I felt so little inside that enormus church. Elaborate fan vaultings covered the hallway ceilings. The details in the whole building were insane. My favorite part was lighting a prayer candle. They had hundreds of small candles that you could light and set a candle holder. The picture is me comming out of the oldest part of Westminster that is still intact. It had a really cool door, actually there were two of them. Talk about security! On our way the V&A museum, Lindsey and I stopped to check out this sweet phone booth, it stunk pretty bad, other than that it was cool.

The V&A museum was awesome. I saw many cool things there. One highlight was this Roman column. It was so big. we saw it from the 2nd floor and it went all the way to the ceiling. It was part of an exhibit that was a replicate of Rome for people that are in England and cant go to Rome to see thoes amazing things. This blown glass chandelier was hanging in the V&A as well, super sweet! Last thing from the V&A, a glass bench. Not only is it the coolest glass bench I've ever seen, but it has lights floating in it! Definately a highlight of the day.
