Day 5 - The National Cathedral






Who knew a cathedral could be so cool? We learned about gargoyles and grotesques, how they were made and why they are on gothic cathedrals. A number of artists carved each one individually (one even taking on the form of Darth Vader!).
In one stain glass window there is actually a real rock from the moon.
We also learned that this is where Helen Keller was burried along with her teacher and a friend.
