Today our class had a tour at the
National Theatre in
Southbank, London. Can I just say that I love love love that theatre? And of course, I didn't bring my DLSR, which means being the
photo snob that I am I took like a total of two pictures there today because all I had was my point and shoot and it takes bad quality photos. Ridiculous. Lesson learned,
regret felt, I will never do that again. The National is a more recent building, beautifully designed, and
modern. We also got to go back stage and see the production work as well as props.
Southbank is so cool. They have fake beach right on the platform overlooking the Thames. And they also have an
art festival up right now as well as
book sales, cafes, and a skate park in the middle of it all that artists freely
tag (which I have decided to do before I leave). I am going back soon, hopefully tomorrow, and will take lots of pictures to make up for it.

Then we went to
Buckingham Palace to take a tour of the
Royal Mews...we saw the
carriage from the wedding and some of the
horses. And then me and Carolyn ended the day by reading "The School For Scandal" for class in
Hyde Park...not the best play in the world. It takes place around the same time as Jane Austen but it's just about frivolous gossips, so yes my time was wasted. But not to worry the park was
sunny and
lovely.
