Well just in case you didn't know, the difference between an Abby and a Cathedral is that a Cathedral is tied to a bishop or had been at one time. Yesterday, we went and toured West Minster Abby. Our tour was given by a blue badge, in which to earn our guide has had to have years of study and experience. Therefore, she was absolutely amazing! 
The Abby was extremely old and grand, this was the Abby the over 20 of the previous king and queen have been coronation in. It is also the church that William and Kate were married in. It has served the rule of King Henry the VIII because of all the members of his family that were buried there, it is riddled from top to bottom with shrine and monuments. The ceilings are huge and grand in the ancient Gothic style. After visiting west minster we came back for class and dinner. I must admin on our crazy schedule a three hour class at one was almost unbearable! Whooa! From there however, we went to Le
Miserables it was absolutely breath taking! The voices were out of this world, the stage revolved on a center weal, which constantly turning showing up the front and back of every scene and allowing the characters to literally walk on stage. The grand numbers of Bring Him Home and Can You Hear the People Singing left no one unmoved. 
The night finished with a frantic sprint to finish today's homework. We've all come to one conclusion--there will be no sleep in London! ;)
