Today we went in to London to see St. Paul's Cathedral.
This magnificent edifice, built by Sir Christopher Wren has withstood almost 300 years of London's history. And that is just the Cathedral we see today. It's foundation lies upon the foundations of other cathedrals built bearing the name of St Paul. There have been at least 3 before the current one, if not more. Indeed, a cathedral to St. Paul has stood on this very spot since 906 AD!
I don't have a lot of time to write, but i will say that we went into the crypt and saw the burial places of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, as well as that of Sir Christopher Wren and his wife. We also climber 507 steps to stand on the outside of the dome and take in the magnificent views!
