    Catedrala Westminster triumfa falnic pe strada Victoria. Este o cladire remarcabila, de caramida rosie, intr-un stil bizantin destul de diferit de catedralele native din Marea Britanie. Arhitectura este la fel de speciala si in interior, dar principala atractie a Catedralei Westminster este atmosfera sa linistita de rugaciune. Opt coloane de marmura sprijina un baldachin imens deasupra altarului, in timp ce mozaicuri bizantine acopera capelele si boltele sanctuarului. Puteti lua liftul care va duce in Clopotnita. De acolo aveti o vedere cuprinzatoare asupra Palatului Buckingham, Westminster Abbey si a Catedralei St. Paul's.
    Intrarea este gratuita, iar liftul costa 5 lire.

    Londra. Un oras regal.

    110 photos

    Londra este pentru mine cea mai frumoasa destinatie europeana. Cladirile cu arhitectura lor deosebita, monumentele istorice, strazile aglomerate, atmosfera trepidanta din puburi si restaurante, toate acestea iti rasfata privirea si iti ofera o vibratie unica, vibratie pe care aici am intalnit-o pentru prima oara. Londra este inima Angliei, iar eu, …

    We arrived late on Friday after taking a bus to Pisa, flight to Standsted, and finally a bus to London. After the long day and all of that traveling, we still managed to get excited about the city. It reminded us of America with huge shopping centers, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, and best of all..everything was in English! It was definitely a nice break …

    Reflections after a Confirmation

    A friend at St Mary's was confirmed yesterday and I just had some thoughts I would like to share. Being in a Catholic Church and present during mass makes me feel much like when I attended the Gay Pride Parade in Greenville these past few years. In both places I am present, not very active, just a presence amongst the mob. I am amongst a minority. …

    In London

    Afraid that we would get caught in Parisian traffic, which is quite wicked, we woke at 5 am and arrived at Gare du Nord to catch the 9:15 a.m. Eurotrain. Needless to say we had to wait for a long time before the officials would let us check in and clear customs.

    Papa was stopped at the Security Screening because he had Swiss Army knives …
