Westminster Abby

Jared and I got up early this morning to get tickets for Billy Elliot tonight (which we got awesome seats.) On the way back we decided to stop by the Westminster Abby and do the tour. We have to do it for our paper, so we figured we'd get it out of the way. It wasn't very exciting-just a bunch of tombs, altars, shrines, and cloisters. It was huge, and Poet's corner was pretty cool. Edward Bulwer-Lytton once said, "The pen is mightier than the sword." All you have to do is walk through Westminster Abby to see that it's true. If you were to look at the names that you recognize from the lines of Kings and Queens and then look at the names you recognize from poet's corner, there are significantly more in poet's corner.
I don't really get too excited over churches. Yeah they're cool, but I don't really think it was worth the 9 pounds I paid to get in.
