What a beeauteeful poster!
hi colleen and mike,
i was reading your old posts about going to a temple and it being so crowded you can't move, and it reminded me of when i went to london for study abroad... we were in the area and thought, "why not check out westminster abbey, it's right here..." which was so packed i think there were actually more people in the cathedral than there were buried underneath. practically the whole floor is tombstones, but you didn't really have time to check them out because of the crush of tourists behind you. it helped to follow the rope that trailed through the abbey, because it would take you through the whole church. it was an instructive experience though, because i certainly knew what to expect when i visited other churches later (same story in canterbury and at notre dame). it really taught me what a difference there is between being a seasoned traveler and a newbie.
