Winding Down

Today was our last day in this wonderful city. We have had such an amazing time! Today we headed into London with the intention of seeing the changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace. However, we were out of luck. In the winter they only do the ceremony every other day. We did see the changing of the Royal Horse Guard, which was really cool.

From there, we headed to Westminster Abbey. This may be one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. It is a beautiful working church that was once a Monastery. They still hold mass there about six times a day. I've included some pictures of the outside, as we were forbidden from taking pictures inside. Almost all of Britain's monarchs from the last 1000 years are entombed there. Except Henry VIII. Check your history books, darlings. He had this thing against the Catholic Church...

From there, we decided to get some lunch. We wanted to make it inside the Tower of London, but alas, the Westminster Abbey tour took a bit longer than expected, so we weren't able to make it inside in time. But there are some pictures of the outside. So amazing.

As of this moment, we are packing. Why did we bring so much crap? We didn't use half of it. Oh well, you live and learn, I suppose.

We head to the airport in the morning but don't get home until late evening, so it will be a long day.

However, I have decided that I enjoy writing this blog, and I will continue it after the trip. While the photos may not be nearly as exciting, it's fun to write and I love me some comments! Thanks to everyone who went on this journey via the blog. See you when we get home!
