St. Paul's Cathedral

One of the coolest experiences I have had so far in London was the tour of Saint Paul's cathedral. I had no idea it was the 2nd biggest cathedral in the world (possible test question?) and didn't know there were many levels inside the walls of the beautiful and ornate building. I was very impressed by our tour guide and was happy to finally find out who Saint Faith really was. Faith is my Catholic confirmation name and most people think I chose it as an expression of my faith instead of after an actual saint. Anyway, the crypt underneath this cathedral is named after her, so I was quite intrigued. We also saw the grave of Christopher Wren, the architect of the church (another possible test question? haha). I felt so privileged to be able to go up into the building and climb hundreds of stairs to the top since many people don't get to experience that. Don't get me wrong, I was exhausted by the time we got to the top and my legs were shaking, but it was well worth it. The views of the city from this height were amazing and I would do it all over again if I had the chance. Thanks so much for being friends with one of the men that works at the cathedral Carol, it was truly a memorable experience!!
