okay, so day 4 was awesomeeeee... we did quite a bit :D
To start, I went for my morning jog with my friend kayla... once again, beautiful as always. Then we went to St. Paul's Cathedral. Oh my word does that place just put you in awe. we were able to learn about the history of the church and why/when it was built. When walking to the top of the dome in the cathedral (528 steps) it was the most amazing view of London that could possibly ever be seen. also, inside the cathedral upstairs of the dome... if you whisper along the wall to someone on the opposite side, you can TOTALLY hear them! haha, it was honestly soo flippin' cool, it could have entertained me for hours. A really neat part, dealing with America inside the church is a memorial for all of our soilders that aided the british in WWI I beleive. they had a stain-glass window with a symbol for each of the 50 states. It was really neat.
After St. Paul's, we went to to a flat and talked with a leader in parliment about the UK government. It was definitely interesting to hear the differences of the UK government with the USA one. I find it fascinating that they don't have a written constitution like we do, they just base their government off tradition. sooo differentttt
Then, after that we went to a play shakespeare play, "twelfth night." It was a different play, yet extremely entertaining nonetheless. It was definitely a cool experience tho! so with that.. .day four was a pretty solid day, but NOTHING compared to day 5 :D
