The best thing about this program is that we have the privilege to see and experience things that the general population may not be able to experience. My favorite excursion from this week would have to be Westminster Abbey. My classmates and I were in complete amazement that we were in the same church where Princess Kate and Prince William were married. They are such an amazing couple and Princess Kate is a great role model for any young lady. I also admired the British monarch history and the tombs in the abbey. Many people can not locate relatives who passed away 60 years, however Prince William or Prince Harry can visit the abbey and see the resting place of their ancestors from the 15th century. It was such a remarkable place and it makes me want to go home and research the ancestors in my family tree. I can not wait for the many more excursions that are coming in these next couple of weeks.
