kissams in london- day 2- 1

day 2- Westminster Abbey.  i had no idea how immense this place was going to be.  i nearly overloaded on chapels/ churches/ cathedrals/ abbey and whatnot on this one day.  it surprised me how they've almost become a hoarder's paradise for tombs. (we did find and possibly walk over darwin, faraday, kelvin, and newton- and then other greats like ben jonson, handel, kipling, and olivier. not to mention all the royals.)  we waited in the rain on a long line- thankfully it moved swiftly.  while waiting someone started whistling 'winchester cathedral.'  so for the rest of the week when i wanted to speak of westminster, i said, 'winchester.'  grrr.
