Just have time to upload the pics of things I've seen. I'll fill in with the meat later... if only I didn't have homework, that'd be great.

As soon as we walked in and said hello to the caretaker, he immediately started on a 10 min history of the church! what a sweetie

St. Bride's church, designed by the same architect as St. Paul's (Christopher Wren. what a stud.) What's crazy about it is when they were laying the foundations for the building, they found remains of a Roman structure that musta been built there before. They preserved some of the walls of the original Roman structure (which they think was a burial site as they found body remains too) and they date back to the 11th century.
Yep. back in 1000. No biggie. |

| St Paul's Cathedral. Look at that dome. 2nd largest traditionally constructed dome in the world (according to Peter, our adorable tour guide). The biggest? St. Peter's Basilica. This beautiful photo is from here |
