A Very Long Walk

 

It was a long day of walking for my second day.  I visited Waterhouse Square, a beautiful brick building that serves as offices these days.  It was a very warm day by London standards and you'd think I'd be used to the heat but it's a different kind of heat.  I tried to stay in the shade as much as I could.



I visited the Temple of Mithras, Roman ruins that are located under the Bloomberg Building.  That was a unique experience.  They have a bit of a light show with recordings of chanting to set the tone.  It was fascinating to see.














And I stopped in at St. Stephen church designed by Christopher Wren.  It was beautiful inside.  Look at the huge cover over the pulpit on the right.  


Here's a closer view.  It looks like it might swallow someone up.
