Canterbury
An un-religious pilgrimage...
I totally had Sting on the brains!

you know, Ten Summoners' Tales?

Now I can't remember if the Pizza Hut thing happened here or in Salisbury...

I finally fully appreciated my Medieval Art class. I totally went in the cathedral in Canterbury able to talk about flying buttresses and, like narthexes, as if I really knew what I was talking about.

One cool thing about Canterbury is the underground room where all the relics of St. Thomas a Beckett were held. And it made me wonder if all the contractors were getting on his case about how much the thing was costing to build and just off-ed him. Then used relics to attract donations to finally finance this grand beast of a church.

Please, God, don't strike me down. It was just a passing thought!

And besides, I'm one of those suckers that made the pilgrimage and donated money and stuff. I swear! I didn't think and atheist could spend so much money on "donations" to organized religion! I hope the council won't revoke my gay identity card!

Anyway, I kinda wondered where my money was going to. Was it the church or some kinda historical society or what?

Hmm... I'm over it.
