Today we traveled back to where it all began for London. While we walked through the Museum of London, we were immersed into each stage of its life, sharing the joys and sorrows, successes and hard times. The museum was full of so many different kinds of artifacts and packed with multi-media displays so you could really get the full effect. Some of the most interesting spots in the museum included places where they had videos playing- often with real footage and even interviews with people. One of the most moving pieces was a video of the blitz. It's astonishing what the people of London, just ordinary regular people, had to go through.
After the museum, we headed over St. Paul's again but this time we got to check out the magnificent inside! It's just an absolutely amazing structure that words really can't do justice. We toured most of the church and some of us made the long trek up to the Whispering Gallery and on up some more to the Golden Gallery- some 500-odd steps all together! It was absolutely terrifying but the view was worth it!
