Big Ben, Parliment, & Westminster Abbey

To see Big Ben and Parliment in pictures is awesome, but in person you really see the intricacies of design. I could sit and stare at them for a long, long time.

We attended the Evensong service at Westminster Abbey and it was one of my favorite experiences. The building itself was so beautiful. And to experience it in a setting of worship was really special. Instead of merely being a museum or a monument to man's achievement and history, it became something higher and holier. I think that buildings like Westminster Abbey can only be fully appreciated in a religious setting. It's there that they fill the measure of their creation.
