Dublin and London
When you stand inside the 900-year-old St. Patrick’s Cathedral in the center of Dublin, you almost forget there’s a modern city buzzing right outside.
From around the Irish capital, through Shakespeare’s Stratford and into London with its iconic Big Ben, every moment brings a better understanding of life on the British Isles, both past and present.
