London: Saturday

Saturday started at 7:40am when I got up and took a shower before heading down to breakfast with Lauren and Abby. It was ok. I ordered the "Full English Breakfast" and only ended up eating the egg. I miss bacon. Real bacon, made from poor, tortured, AMERICAN pigs. Not this weird stuff. ;(

So, Deborah and Jim (the professors) walked us over to The Globe at about 9:45, taking us by the National Theatre on the way (over Waterloo Bridge). Our little group spent the morning in the Tate Modern. I really enjoyed it, but what I liked most were the interactive games. I didn't win any, but I didn't lose either!

Before the first show we got some pizza at Pizza Express and I got real lemonade, not the Sprite-like stuff most British restaurants serve (that, while good, is not lemonade). And then came the best part of the day.

As You Like It was amazing. I absolutely adored it. I don't want to go into it a lot, but I think it's probably one of the best stagings I will ever see. I may write a separate post about it later.

After we got out it was about 5 or 5:30, so we went across Millennium Bridge to St. Paul's Cathedral and wandered around that area. Some people went to a restaurant called Paul's for dinner, but I went with a couple others to the Marks & Spencer for fruit and smoothies. Then back across the bridge for our second show of the day.

Love's Labour's Lost was such a disappointment after As You Like It. I'm sad to say it, but I couldn't get into it at all. I'll definitely write a separate post about this one.

By the end of the night we were all tired so we followed Jim and Deborah back to the hotel and collapsed into bed around 12.
