St Paul's Cathedral

View from the top







Saturday I spent the day at St Paul's Cathedral. It was even more beautiful than I remembered.

One thing that struck me was how pro-American the cathedral was. In the space behind the high altar there was a memorial to American soldiers in WWII complete with a book with all American names of soldiers who died while stationed in Britain. The walls were carved in the same style as the style of the cathedral but was filled with American birds and vegetation. It was very beautiful. St Paul's was also the location of a huge memorial service on 9/11/01.


The weather was beautiful that day. Sunny, clear skies (for the most part). However, it was freezing!
