  2. Having so much fun remembering. Keep looking up, you will often see art climbing the walls or flying off the top of buildings. I hope you will have a chance to go back to St. Paul's. It is an amazing beautiful building that the people of the neighborhood helped to save during the bombings of WWII. I was went there 3 times. Sometime I just sat there, listened to music and read a book. It's very different then West Minster Abby. It's a very peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but then I didn't have two teenagers with me. Glad you found a way to post pictures. And finally, yes I did know that Big Ben is the bell not the bell tower. That info is going to come in handy someday in winner a contest, I'm just sure of it. Have Fun!!!!!
