March 1990 – the weather was unseasonably warm, but we were definitely not going to complain! London was lovely.
Visiting the Tower felt eerie. I love going to historic sites. My own home town, Québec City, will celebrate a mere 400 years of existence in 2008… The Tower itself is older than my home city!
There was a crumbling piece of wall on the Tower grounds that had actually seen Julius Ceasar pass by… I could only stare, mesmerized, for a few long moments.
I have to admit visiting the torture chambers were mostly what made the visit “eerie”.
At the Tower, I felt horror, awe, reverence, small, and tall, all at once. This place definitely holds a special spot in my travel memories!
