More touring today, we went to the Kensington Palace, where once again clothing fascinated me. However, these were a little different from the one from those in a museum. Today I was inches away from the gowns that Princess Diana herself donned. We also visit St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. A large dome is the focal point of the cathedral, decorated by paintings and gold molding. However, one does not have to simply stand on the ground and look at this work of art, one has the option of climbing hundreds of stairs and looking at the masterpiece closer. And of course I decided to climb the hundreds of winding stairs to get a closer look. It was simply breathtaking (pun intended). 

After some more touring, Mariann and I decided to partake in a local tradition in order to learn more about British traditions and decided to visit a pub. We had delicious fish and chips and washed it down with cool, brown liquid (to get the British experience, of course.) 

Hopefully we will experience British culture more in the next few weeks!
