We visited Westminster Abbey on Tuesday and it was pretty interesting. There were a lot of dead people buried there and so many more than had small commemorations to their honour. We saw tombs of royalty and actors, poets and great thinkers. It was an awe filling experience and I’m glad we got to go and have a tour. My only problem with it was that we weren’t allowed to take too many pictures. And by “not too many,” I mean I got two pictures. I did get to see graves I would have never imagined like Lawrence Olivier and Aphra Behn. Ironically, the only grave I got a picture of was an English actress who performed in The Widow Ranter. She died in 1748 but, they have no real recollection of her early life until she started performing with the Duke’s Company in the late 1680s. I, also, had the pleasure of eavesdropping on a tour that was being given in German. It was nice to be able to pick up on what the guide was saying because I felt like I was retaining more information. When you work hard to understand something, it gets stuck in your head.  The other cool but odd thing we saw there was Britain’s oldest door. It looked like a regular door but, maybe I wasn’t looking at it the right way.
