A Tale of Two Abbeys

Day 6: Finally Back to Some London Sights

This morning we walked to Westminster Abbey using a “shortcut” my mom had been eyeing since we arrived. I don’t think it was really shorter than our usual route, but it was much less congested. Plus, we saw a bunch of parents walking their small children to school, so it was kind of cool to see a different slice of everyday London life other than commuters rushing in and out of Waterloo station.

Anyway, we spent a good, long time in the Abbey. I don’t know if it was my directional/spacial challenges or what, but I kept getting one or two spaces ahead of the audio guide. I’d listen to the description and look at what I thought was number 8, but I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t see an angel facing north or whatever. My mom pointed out that there was a tiny photo on the audio guide that corresponded to what was being discussed. Ahhhh.
