Big Ben and Westminster Abbey-Day 4

Big Ben. So crazy to see it in person!

Parliament. They were not in session...too bad, that would have been fun to see.

Since you can't take pictures inside Westminster Abbey, I had to take a million outside.

The architecture is amazing. I didn't know what to take a picture of first!

To be quite honest, the feeling inside Westminster was a bit creepy. It was dark and had graves everywhere. But it was beautiful as well.

There is a little church off to the side.

Honestly, how in the world did people carve things like this out of stone so long ago? I was once again awe inspired by the whole thing.

And these weren't beautiful at all...whose idea is it to put these on "holy" buildings?

This window is a legend!

I actually really like this sculpture of Mary and Jesus. Almost like she is holding him saying "look how many people love you!" Maybe I just think this because it is how I hold McKay when I want to show him something.

There are carvings of saints all over the front of the building.

And who knows who this guy is.

I am guessing water runs out of here when it rains. That would be a site to see.

Tomb of Mary I and Elizabeth I (both daughters of Henry VIII, and half sisters). I didn't take any of these pictures I found them on the internet. My camera fingers were itchy let me tell you. there were so many cool things to take pictures of in here.

Tomb of Mary Queen of Scots.

Gorgeous stained glass window.

And as with just about every building we saw in England, even the ceilings were beautiful
