My favorite part of day two was hands down Saint Paul’s cathedral. I have been to Spain and seen all their famous cathedrals, but I think St. Paul’s is my favorite cathedral I have been to, to date. What I really enjoyed about Saint Paul’s appearance was how everytime I walked to a new side of the church it looked completely different yet similar in style. Upon going inside I was even more in awe of the dome and the rich paintings that detailed it. I decided to go up to the very top, and after approximately a billion steps up to and then down from I can say the view from the highest level was one hundred percent worth it. I can not believe that some poor worker has to climb those stairs everyday just to regulate attendants on the stairs. However it must be cool to be able to see the best view of the city everyday you go to work! You could see literally everything from up there, the eye, Big Ben, and all the fancy skyscrapers. Another thing I thought was very interesting was the martyr exhibit. It was so powerful, yet modern and it really made me feel the presence of Saint Paul’s cathedral. I thought it was the perfect self reflection piece for its audience.
