Frank's leaving at the end of July, so understandably he has a list of things that still must be done in London, and we ticked St Paul's off yesterday. It was a beautiful, albeit chilly day: perfect for the views from the top.
Little did I know you aren't to take pictures inside the Cathedral...I was glad I wasn't told to delete these ones, Crown-Jewels-Styles ;)
There are five hundred and change stairs to three levels...
The Whispering Gallery is just aboud the coolest thing ever. At the base of the dome, there are tiny benches all around the curved area, with rails overlooking the alter. If you sit even across from each other (a distance of about 100 metres), and talk into the wall, as the listener puts his or her ear to the wall, you can HEAR EACH OTHER. It's so radical. You should have heard us: "This is the coolest thing ever!" "This is the best day of my life!" ...it went on.
Then we kept climbing...
...and finally looked down at the centre of the church from waaay too high up...
Here is my favourite picture of the day...
The Tate Modern and Millennium Bridge:
We left and headed over to the Museum of London for a photography exhibit on Michael Caine. Twas delightful. We walked out the door and stumbled upon the London Wall. No biggie...just a two thousand year old relic in the centre of the city.
Clearly Frank was enamoured.
After lunch at Princi, where we had amazing thin, thin, thin crust pizza, it was off to SoHo for a drink in the sunshine.
It was a delightful day.
We're just getting ready now before heading out for a picnic.
I hope your weekend is going well.
