Last night I met Ty after work and we went to Evensong at St. Paul's Cathedral. It usually costs 20$ to get in, so we'd resigned ourselves to the fact that we'd only just admire the outside. But thanks to the ingenuity of Betsy and my parents, they found out that if you go there or to Westminster Abbey at 5pm during Evensong, you can get in for free...good tip for next time you visit London. It is such a beautiful cathedral!
The quote of the subject goes on to say:
" I can never understand why Londoners fail to see they live in the most wonderful city in the world. It has more history, finer parks, better theaters, more museums, leafier squares, safer streets, and more courteous inhabitants than any other large city in the world..."
-Bill Bryson
Not that I'm trying to recruit more visitors, but this is really a great city and I think everyone should come here at least once in their lifetime. I love it more and more every day.

I would love to come to London...I wonder how many times I've said that on your blog?!!! One day, although I'm not sure if at that time you'll still be there!
This is Liz and Brad Baker... Congratulations! We are so excited for you guys. Brad says to tell Ty hi and that he misses him really bad!
I don't know why I haven't mentioned this yet but the Hacketts will be in France for the final stage of Le Tour (July 24-27), we have high hopes of visiting one of the most expensive cities in the world (London). We would love to catch up over some fish n' chips.
It does sound awesome there. I really want to visit someday!
thanks so much for rubbing it in that some of us are unable to make it there.
3 cheerio's for London. remember I had to ask the guide if this was a religious service to get off the front row of evensong. Betsy did go with me and dad. Can't wait to hear about your trip
