My first day in London was nothing short of impressionable. The beginning of the day was quite nice and slow walking around our neighborhood, but quickly picked up pace when we arrived at St. Paul’s cathedral. This first glimpse of St. Paul’s was an incredible peak into history as we turned a corner by a small coffee kiosk and saw the double dome hovering above the city way off in the distance. As we moved closer it was obvious that the scale of this building was sublime. Situated within a plaza reminding me much of the piazzas of Italy this ornate structure seemed to encapsulate the entire area around it. The details of the facade seemed to come to life as I moved closer seeing the faces and figures covering the walls.
After we spent some time around the building it was time to go in. Waking into St Pauls was like walking back into history, and completely awe inspiring. Overall I was amazed as we moved through the double dome to the roof and then back down that the entire time every corner of the building had something new to offer my senses.
St. Paul’s didn’t disappoint at all, and has been a wonderful first look into London. Oh and I forgot to mention that our fearless leaders looked pretty “fly” today as well.
(And last but not least a peak inside the crypt)
