My First London Play

Today was fantastic!  We went on a half day tour of london, and it was great!  When we first got on the bus, we heard a British Radio Show talk about how "studies show that men who put their dishes in the sink and leave them their are more thoughtless than other men."  This amused us to no end!!
When I first got on the bus

We gout out at a few places, one of them being Westminster Abbey!  So much fun!  Did you know that they have a little statue of Martin Luther King, Jr?  True story!

Then we stopped off at the Millenium Bridge to see something awesome!!  (Sorry for the sound quality, guys.  It got windy and cloudy.)

We had some free time then, when this happened

The theatre:  first impression

And the play was so good!  There was tons of dancing and singing and sparkly shiny costumes!!  It was really really fun!  It was set in America, and I think that some of the more subtle jabs about the States were lost on the British Audience.  I don't think they quite understood that Westerners and Easterners commonly dislike each other.  Also, I don't think the 2 British characters were as funny to them as they were to me.  They were typical stereotypes of was Americans perceive as common British behavior.  But I thought it was hilarious!!!
My explosive rambling after the play

Tomorrow we got on a tour of the Globe!!!  SQUEE!!!  Then, I'm going to the Tate Modern Art Museum with Holly and Callie.  We expect to laugh at all the silly modern art.  Very silly.
Yay London!!

  2. Annnie it sounds as though you are having a wonderful time! What were the songs in the Gershwin play? If you keep climbing those stairs, you'll be in good shape by the time you get back!
    Keep right on enjoying yourself dear, and give our greetings to Dr Wadia and Sarah.
    Much love,
