Our time at Harlaxton has sadly come to an end this morning, and yet we are all smiles and giggles as we pack for London. We take one last look at the striking landmark known to us as the Manor House, and our understanding and appreciation are immediately heightened. However, we must say farewell for now and continue to journey on, for London is waiting.
Some of the educational highlights of the city include the knowledge that London’s history can be dated back to 43 A.D. when it was founded by the Romans. Today London is the capital of England and the United Kingdom. It is Britain’s largest metropolitan area, and the world’s largest financial center. Over three-hundred languages and many distinctive cultures make up London’s population, making England one of the most diverse areas on the earth.
There are also over three-hundred theaters, and thousands of shops, so upon our arrival we decided to tour the streets while making our way to Saint Paul’s Cathedral to attend an organ recital. The music was glorious, and the cathedral was amazing on the grandest scale. While it is true that we have had the opportunity to tour many incredible cathedrals while in England, I must say that Saint Paul’s had a breathtaking effect on the group as a whole. I could not be more thankful for the experience and the education that this trip has afforded me.
