| Tower of London: King Henry VIII's armor |
Today I got a ticket to see the Tower of London and ended up spending most of my day there. Very cool place! I'm really glad I went. The crown jewels were INCREDIBLE! One of the diamonds was 530 carats!!!!!!!! Woah. Gorgeous!
After I finished up at the Tower of London, I rode one of the big red busses, then went to the Globe Theater to see if they had any performances tonight. I ended up standing in the returns line and got one of their standing room tickets for 5 pounds! Yeah! FYI, if you ever go, they sell standing room tickets for 5 pounds, just book in advance, or stand in the returns line and cross your fingers. I saw
Doctor Faustus. I'd never read it, but I liked it. And before the show, I ran down the street and grabbed some fish and chips for dinner! Very good!

Awesome, during intermission, a guy asked what class I was, he and his girlfriend both were wearing Aggie Rings! He graduated in 2006 and she graduated in 2011. AND... as I sit in the kitchen of my hostel writing this, the girl next to me just asked what year I am... there are two more Aggies in the hostel! Awesome!
Gotta make this one short because I have to leave my hostel in 3 hours (yes, at 3 am) to get to the airport for a 6 am flight. Meeting my mom, cousin and aunt at the airport in Rome (hopefully they're on their flight right now!).

I am so thrilled that you liked the Tower of London. It was my favorite, too. I am so glad you got to see a show at the Globe. We didn't get to seed any theatre while we were there, of course, we had a 13 month old baby with us!!! LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your seeing a show at the Globe! Awesome. And how fun the way you run into fellow Aggies!
