Today at Westminster Abbey I was blown away by pretty much everything inside the church. I have never seen such exquisite and breath-taking architecture in my life, and enjoyed every second I was there. While it is difficult to pinpoint my favorite part of the experience, I would have to say that I was taken aback by the number of great leaders that are buried there. It was weird to my at first to walk over the tombs of countless people, not to mention the elaborate tombs that were on display. Some of the greatest Kings and Queens in history, like King Edward the Conqueror, Queen Elizabeth and Mary, were laid to rest in that church.

Such a memorial is not commonplace back in America and I was just really amazed at the number of historical people buried together inside the church. As I walked through, I wished I knew more about Enlgish history so I could really appreciate the great Kings and Queens who were laid to rest beneath my feet. However, I am excited because my family is coming to meet us after our five weeks are up to come and visit England for about a week. So I will have another chance to tour Westminster Abbey, and now I have time to do my research and learn about the stories and history of King Henry VIII, Elizabeth, Mary, ect. The audio tours were another aspect of Westminster that I thought was really great. Without hearing great detail about each section of the church, I would not have understood its great importance and would have breezed on through many incredible parts of the church. All in all, I had an amazing time at Westminster and I look forward to going back in a few weeks and spending a much longer time walking around and enjoying its great beauty.
