This was the big one for me. This place was all I had hoped for and then some. It's just such a surreal experience to be in a place with such a history. It's one thing to read about Elizabeth I collapsing at the traitor's gate and refusing to walk up the steps to the tower.
It's another thing entirely to look down at those actual steps. At that moment, she must have fully believed that she would die in that tower just as her mother, Anne Boleyn, had died.

You just never know.
You could get your head chopped off or you could end up as Queen of England.
Kinda puts your nonsense in perspective, doesn't it?
