London: Sunday

Sunday started about the same way that Saturday did, except that I got the scrambled eggs instead of the full breakfast. Still upset about the bacon, though.

9:30 found six of us trotting off to Covent Gardens. We saw a street performer and some bagpipers. We didn't spend long in that area before we went over to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery. I did something similar at the National Gallery to what Dad and I did at the Chicago Art Institute. Basically, almost running to see everything in a short amount of time. We got about 45 minutes in there before we had to go get lunch, but the map was really easy to read.

We got lunch at a pub called The Wellington before heading over Waterloo Bridge to see Mother Courage. It blew me away (almost literally). I loved it SO much. Fiona Shaw was fantastic, as was Harry Melling (he plays Dudley in the HP movies and played Mother Courage's son Swiss Cheese in the play). Everyone was...amazing. I'm still in shock over it.

After the play we all walked back to the area of our hotel for dinner before catching the bus back. A lot of us, including the profs, went to a pub called The Lamb where the bartender looked like Faramir in LOTR (aka David Wenham). Except, you know, without the armor. My burger was excellent, though spicier than I usually expect.

The bus came and got us from the hotel a little after 8pm and we were back in Exeter by 12:15. All in all, a phenomenal trip.

Pictures coming soon!
