Living in London: St. Paul's Cathedral

Yesterday I ventured out into London on my own, which I love doing. There is something so empowering about walking around London by myself and just exploring. I love it! Yesterday I visited St. Paul’s. You have to pay to tour around the whole church but it’s definitely worth it. Saying it’s beautiful just isn’t enough. The inside of the church is so intricate and detailed; you could stare at it for 20 minutes and not pick up on everything. There are beautiful statues and plaques in the basement of the church dedicated to people who have lost their lives in war. You can also climb 300 stairs and there is an outside viewing deck. I did that and by the time I got to the top I was so winded. But the views of London were amazing and I kept telling myself over and over again how much I loved London. It is truly the greatest city. The weirdest thing happened when I was in St. Paul's. As I was walking around I wandered if people ever got married in the church. Literally 2 seconds later, I turned around and there was a bride, a groom and two bridesmaids standing in the distance. So weird! I watched them for a bit and nothing was happening so I moved on. Then when I walked out to leave...the entire wedding party was on the steps of St. Paul's posing for pictures! This huge crowd had gathered to watch and take pictures of the wedding party so I joined in and took a few. It was really cool!
