Another Busy Day in London

Today was Katherine's last full day in London, so we had to make the most of it! We started the morning kind of early and headed to Westmister Abbey. It was absolutely incredible. We had a little audio tour and we learned so much about the church. I was amazed by all the tombs of important people housed there. All in all, it was such a beautiful place with such amazing history. I'm so glad we went! We then headed to St. Paul's to take a peek in. It was absolutely beautiful, as well, but we didn't do a whole tour of it. After that, we planned on going to Petticoat Lane to do some shopping at the market. Unfortunately, the guide book and things we read were incorrect and it wasn't open! Huge bummer. Then, we tried Spitalfields Market and it, too, was closed. A second bummer. By this time, the weather was also going crazy. After raining in the morning, then turning sunny, the weather turned to hail. Ah! It was so strange. After that, we headed over to Tower Bridge and climbed to the top. We saw a pretty cool exhibit and the views from the bridge were pretty cool. After that, we stopped in Piccadilly Circus and then headed back to the flats to change before heading to dinner and a show. We went to a pub-esque place for dinner so Katherine could order fish and chips. I tried some and it was very fishy but, hey, at least I can say I tried it. After that, we went to see Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre. I was very impressed with the sets and costumes, though the show itself wasn't extremely wonderful. It was good, but not great. I'm glad we went, though, since Phantom is such a great story. After the show, we decided to go see some of the major sights at night. We saw Parliament and the London Eye and they were very cool. It was freezing, though, so we didn't stay out long. Now we're back and sadly getting ready for Katherine to leave in the morning.
