Making a Phone Call? |


We've tried to experience Evensong at both Westminster and St Paul's, arriving to find out that the start time listed on the Internet was not as accurate as the information on the signboard posted out front of each. The outsides of the buildings are impressive! Since we couldn't go in, we opted to at least take pictures. It's not every day you run across Big Ben! Although some of the picture-takers were almost as entertaining...
Today our group had a "free day," so we split up to explore. My group tried to tour Westminster in the morning but didn't want to pay the 15 pounds entrance fee. The sign out front stated that the fees were used for upkeep of the building; those who go to worship [Evensong services] are never charged an entrance fee. In other words, people pay to see the building, but there is no charge to worship the King of the Universe. And shouldn't it be that way?

Love your updates Melea!
