Heck, I've seen most of them, but then I'm not from the U.K. I have never been to the Statue of Liberty.

I've been all over Europe, been to churches and Cathedrals all over Europe and the UK , I've never been to Buckingham Palace... it's just 20 miles from my doorstep

Stunning cathedral! I always wondered how they were able to get people up there so high to do such fine work.

You might enjoy reading Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth about the building of a medieval cathedral. It's a wonderful story, but it is about 1,000 pages long. If that doesn't bother you, it's worth the read.

Neither have I Pepper, nor even been inside the Empire State Building. I used to walk past the ESB frequently on an almost daily basis, but never bothered to go inside. Those places are for tourists anyhow. My son said he's been there frequently on business.

Hubby and I were shown around Ely Cathedral by an Australian who was living there at the time and It was a marvellous experience. We were very impressed by the height of the ceiling where 8(?) oaken trunks were unsupported at the apex. Also impressive was the Lady Chapel where all of the statues had been beheaded/defaced by Cromwell's men before he stopped further damage, and the vaulted ceilings of the underground passages.
 
@Pepper, just asked dd how long ago she was in NY in the snow.. she said it wasn't 12 years ago.. because she was in Vegas then, it was closer to 15 years ago for NY..I told her what you said about returning with some snow .. she laughed.. :LOL:
