Jules and Jim was not only one of my favorite Fringe shows that we have seen but I think it also captured the ideals of Fringe theatre very well. The production itself only had three actors, the set was very minimal with sliding panels of glass, a widow with shutters, a doorway, and a table.This …

Westminster Abbey
Today, our group had the opportunity to visit Westminster Abbey. I have been so looking forward to this day because ever since I was a little girl, I have been intrigued by the royal family. One of my core memories from my childhood actually revolves around a major royal event that took place at Westminster …
Westminster Abbey – England’s Hollywood Walk of Fame
Today we went to Westminster Abbey, and I thought that the entire place was one of the prettiest we’ve seen yet. The architecture inside the church was beautiful, featuring tall gothic elements that created such a presence in the space. Beyond just the architecture it was fascinating to get a taste for just how deep …

The Abbey of all Abbeys
Today we toured Westminster Abbey in which we were told to focus on the graves we walked on and the statues we looked up at. Westminster Abbey was a huge structure that housed a place of worship, a royal wedding venue, the seven-thousand-year-old coronation chair, and over three thousand tombs. The building was surrounded by …
Hirschy Highlight: If I walk into another building where dead people are buried in the floor, I’m going to scream.
Westminster (also pronounced WestMUNster) Abbey reminded me immensely of St. Paul’s Cathedral. While the architecture on the outside is very different, the graves and inner chapel definitely had similarities. First off, I am SICK of these British buildings having the graves on the floor. I get so eerie about not stepping on graves, but when …

Westminster Abbey: Rich in Life, Rich in Death
Inside Westminster Abbey it was interesting to notice who was the most important of these famous legends and who was buried there out of not pity, but let’s say, sympathetic respect. You can tell the names in the large room are the most important of the B list historical figures, the names that had their …

Westminster Abbey
Today we toured Westminster Abbey with our guide Molly, I loved the design of the building I think it is a beautiful church and I liked looking at all the different architecture that was inside. I think that Westminster Abbey is beautiful and it is a good option for the coronations to take place at, …
Does anyone have a Walkman?
First off, I would like to say I have long been fooled about Westminster Abbey. The famous church where the United Kingdom crowns their monarchs is not the building adjacent to Elizabeth Tower (the iconic fancy tower with the clock which most of us incorrectly refer to as Big Ben). Parliament sits next to the …
Westminster Abbey – Day 23
Westminster Abbey was a hot, packed experience. I loved looking at all of the architecture and the stained glass. But with the amount of people also inside with us, I wanted out. I’m learning I’m not a huge fan of crowds. No scratch that I’m not a huge fan of crowds when I am hot …
