So I was home for ten days then Judson, Cassie and I headed off to London and Paris. I won't tell all the crazy details, but here are some of the highlights!
Arrived in London
safe and sound - managed to work the Underground just fine! Ate fish and chips
and did some shopping. Then I got to watch Shrek. It was so delightful and made
me miss theatre really badly!
Spent the morning on the tube :( and spent the afternoon exploring the Tower of London, having afternoon tea at St. Paul's Cathedral and shopping at Harrods. We saw The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre and words cannot express how wonderful it was!!
Today we went on a lovely day trip to Windsor
Castle, Oxford
and Stonehenge. I loved them all, but my
personal favorite was seeing The Eagle and the Child, the pub where C.S. Lewis
and J.R.R. Tolkein regularly met with the Inklings!
Lovely day today! Began at The Globe Theater, toured the
Greek and Egyptian parts of the British
Museum where I saw the
Rosetta Stone, saw The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (It was AMAZING), ate a
delicious dinner and rode the London Eye! Plus the weather was perfect!
I stood on top of a lot of famous dead people today - At
Westminster Abbey. I also shopped at the Portabello Market, worshipped at St. Paul's Cathedral, photographed Buckingham Palace
and sloshed through the rain in sopping wet shoes! Now onto Les Miserables at
the Queen's Theatre! I'm in heaven!
