Today was busy, as usual :) Even though it's officially the second day with the new group, I feel like I'm well adjusted to the fast pace Sis. Peacock had us running at. I do feel for the girls who are already complaining about aching feet, sore backs, and tiredness though, because I was in their shoes just 6 weeks ago.
We began today with the National Gallery and spent three hours straight taking notes while Sis. Peacock lectured. She's like an Energizer bunny. Though extreme, I love her teaching style and much prefer walking with purpose around a museum, being constantly engaged in the artwork. I thrive on structure.
Stopping at a Mark's and Spencer store on the way home, I again couldn't be more amazed at the food-on-the-go merchandise-one of my favorite parts about London. They make excellent sandwiches :D
Later in the evening I enjoyed some authentic Fish and Chips at a pub (the tartar sauce was exceptionally good), before heading to the Globe theater for a production of Henry V. It was sooo good and had some incredible actors! We were among the groundlings (I was actually only three people from the front and right on the side of a stage isle so I had some interaction with the characters :D It was awesome.) and had the privilege of standing the entire three hours (someone definitely passed out in the audience). It was so worth the pain, though. On our way home, we crossed the Millennium Bridge, you know, the one in Harry Potter that gets destroyed by the Death Eaters :D, so that was pretty sweet. I have so much more I want to see while I'm here...Hope it happens! Cheerio!
I can't wait to have a full review of your trip! Sounds like a great day!
