Today we went to visit St. Paul's Cathedral. I was not expecting it to be so huge!

Sadly, we couldn't take any photos once we got inside (Although one girl in our group snapped one shot before we got to the top and got kicked out. Yikes!). We were, however, allowed to take photographs after getting to the very top of the whole city of London from the view from the top of St. Paul's. It was gorgeous! It was probably around 300 steps or so to get to the top, but so worth it. When you got to the top you rotated around, able to see a bird's eye view of London from all different angles.

After climbing up to the top of the cathedral we went back down and toured the rest. The architecture and inside was so beautiful. Every detail is so precise, and so ornate. There was a section in the back dedicated to the Americans who served in the war with the British, which was really touching. There was so much stained glass, chandeliers, saints, gold decoration. Wish I could have photographed the inside, but we couldn't! There was also a choir that sung while we were there which was beautiful. After we went through we were all supposed to meet as a large group outside and we couldn't find the group! There is a little bit of poor communication going on between everyone. So Gabbe and Caroline and I went around for about 30 minutes trying to find the group. Which is one of the pictures I took below! Haha.

After St. Paul's we all went to Greenwhich. We went around to a few stores and shopped. We also ate at a cute little restaurant there and ordered paninis. I'm going to be honest.. London doesn't have very good food! So I am looking forward to the food we get in the future. As of right now I am living off of English muffins, cereal, granola bars, and fruit.
