Last week, I got to go to Shakespeare's Globe Theater. It was really fascinating to see a recreation of the original theater. The Shakespearean actor who gave us the tour made the experience the most memorable. Got a brief history of the origins of the words such a "queue" or a "roll." Pretty Interesting.
Caitlin came last weekend for her second trip to London. I had to work on Thursday for the day but she got see St. Paul's and go to the British Museum. After that we went to Wicked on that night. I really enjoyed it, it played off of Wizard of Oz really well and I thought the singing was phenomenal. What a venue! We got pretty good seats but I don't know how anyone could have seen the play in some of the back rows.
Friday, we went to the Butterfly Exhibit at the Natural History Museum. We also went to the Victoria & Albert Museum. At night we made dinner and headed back to the hostel at King's Cross.
We went to Camden Locks/Market on Saturday. Caitlin loved it and we ended up getting some Banksy prints (a local street artist). After that we went to Harrods (Cait was looking for some pumps) and she found some on sale. We walked around Hyde Park for a while. We were going to take a row boat on the Serpentine but it was a little too windy to go out on the Serpentine river. Later that night we went to the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall on the Thames River.
Another great weekend in London. This will be one of my last entries. Things are wrapping up here soon. Internship is almost done and I have some schoolwork to finish up.
