July 8: Services at St. Paul's Cathedral and walking tour of Guild area

Our first Sunday in London began with services at St. Paul's Cathedral, famous to most Americans as the site of Prince Charles' wedding to Lady Diana.

It was an incredible feeling to be in such a beautiful and historic place. The service, however, was the real treat---absolutely incredible music and very reverent and inspirational.

After the service, I walked through the Guild area with some of my new friends. One of the younger students wore very cute shoes to the services but was in extreme pain by the time we went home. I was very grateful for my ugly, sensible shoes! I think our schedule shows us coming back to the Guild area at the end of our stay here.
