Sunday wasn't very exciting. I pretty much slept all day because I was super tired from our trip. Monday after class, Brianna and I looked around the gift at the National Science Museum because it has so many amazing things. I discovered the muck truck, which is little truck that also happens to be a table top vacuum. I totally would have gotten it if I had little siblings younger than 13. Oh well. Then in stead of doing laundry, I went with Allan and Jason to the Baribcan where Jason and I got tickets to Peter Pan. We went to Guild Hall and saw the watch makers museum, some art, and the ruins of an English Arena. It had crazy neon green 3d drawings of people and spinning gobos! After that, we went as a class to see Warhorse. We got off at the tube stop and realized we only had ten minutes to walk to the theatre, so we ended up running much of the way. The play was good. I loved the horse, but the random tank that came on stage was a little much. It wasn't my favorite or as amazing as I had hoped it would be. After the play, Allan and I went to do laundry because I was in dire need of clean clothes. Don't worry, we were only there until about 1:45am, and I may or may not have fallen asleep at the computer. But, I had clean clothes!
Tuesday, we got up bright and early and went to the Tower of London. It was pretty sweet. My favorite part was the room with the torture machines. Brianna and I stayed probably longer than any other members of our group. We were there until about 1pm. I really enjoyed it. We even got to see some of the crowned jewels; however, some of them were currently in use, which means the queen was wearing them! We cam home afterward to do homework, and I ended up taking a nice long nap.
Wednesday after class, we all headed over to the Unicorn theatre to see The Tempest. It was actually quite good. I loved Ariel, whom Lance described as a "disco meerkat". He was so very fascinating to watch. That evening, Jason, Christian, Lexy, Annalee, Martha, and I all went to Peter Pan. It was amazing! It was a re-adaptation that actually seemed to make the story more about Wendy. She loved him, but he says he can't feel anything. It alluded to the idea the Peter Pan was more of a ghost, and he never actually lets Wendy touch him. It was so interesting and touching. I almost cried. I loved it so much! It was set in Scotland, and they used beautiful Scottish musical underscoring and music in between scenes. It truly was a beautiful show.
Thursday was our country walk. The English countryside is so beautiful. We went to The Hop Shop, which was a little shop on a lavender farm. I really wish I had gotten some lavender ice cream. It sounds weird, but I tasted someone's after we left, and it was so good. It tastes exactly how it smells. Craziness, but delicious. I did, however, try a ginger beer. It was very good. At first it tasted nasty, but after a few swallows, it was really good. Then we went to some ruins of a Roman house, and a castle. It was a wonderful day.
Today, I went and sat in Hyde Park and read All my Sons. It was quite enjoyable. Then I went grocery shopping and worked on homework. Not a lot happened, but it was a good day.
