London

Arrived.

Big cities (all cities) are all the same parts reorganized in slightly different ways.

Arrived at Westminster Abbey at 5:00pm. It was closed, to my dejection. However I saw that it was open to people "worshipping" for the Evensong choral service and was also free (usually £15-ish). A beautiful time. The deep deep bass organ rumbling tremulously (with the voice of a 1000 year old man), while the young choir's voice danced nimbley around it. Much better to see a church in "use". Walking out, I happened to pass by Darwin's tomb. Caught the Evensong the next day at St. Pauls (picture below)... cannot compare to Westminster Abbey.
