Sorry for the delay on the update again. I've been keeping busy this week between finals and my mom being in London with me. I made sure to see her as much as I could while she was here and most of the rest of the time I've been working on essays and studying. I thought you weren't actually suppose to do school work when you were abroad (just kidding). Luckily while my mom was here I had the chance to do some of the more touristy things. The day after her and Kathy Lily arrived I wanted to take them on a walking tour of some of the best sights of the city. So I took them on the tube down to Westminster and from there we went to Westminster Abbey. I've been dying to go to the abbey as many of the UK's most famous rulers, authors, and politicians are buried there. Some notables include Queen Elizabeth I, Issac Newton, James VI of Scotland who became James I of England, etc. They don't allow you to take pictures of the abbey because it is a church but it is pretty awesome. There are also quite a few memorials in the abbey including the tomb to the unknown warrior, a Winston Churchill plaque, and an area called poets corner that has dedications to Shakespeare, Dickens, etc. Highly recommend a visit to this place as words can't describe its beauty. I did manage to take some pictures of the outside though.
