CJ was in London for a couple of days before the two of us (CJ and Laura) flew to Italy for a week. We went to some of the "usual spots" with CJ to show her around London. First, we took her to St. Paul's Cathedral. Here we are on the busy Millennium Bridge, the cathedral towering in the background.
I love the back entrance to Westminster Abbey--especially in Spring/Summer, it's covered in vines and leaves and is so beautiful! Derek was rather proud to have name-dropped, again, (one of his professors lives in the Abbey--see our earlier post on drinking wine in the abbey) and we got into some really cool parts of the abbey which are normally meant to be part of a paid tour!
Probably the best picture we've taken yet of this area--on CJ's camera, and Derek held it over his head in order to get a view over the hedge. We had just come out of the abbey, blinking into the sun. Dark clouds had just passed over the top of us, providing this very dramatic background, but the sun--starting to descend--provided wonderful light on this little cathedral by the abbey (I forget its name) and in the rear, Big Ben.
