London

Well I am finally here in London! I am loving it so much. I have seen so many amazing shows and sights. We spent the first couple of days in Stratford-upon-Avon and saw over 13 hours of theatre put on by the Royal Shakespeare Theatre company, which was one of the most intense experiences of my life. I'm glad that we are in London now though. This is such an eclectic city. I'm having so much fun going around and seeing how all the different elements have come together to make this city what it is. Hopefully when I get back to the states I can put up some pictures of all the sights I've seen. I think my favorite thing would have to be that I'm actually getting credit to be here. We have class whenever we see a show but other than that its pretty much just see as much of London as you can. We actually have 3 free days to take off and do whatever we want, a lot of people are going to Paris or Ireland, but I'm staying here to see some shows just for fun. One of the coolest things about London is all of the mix of the old and the new, you can go to a pub that is hundreds of years old and one of the world's best modern art museums and it's all in the same city. Thats all I have for now, I'm about to go out to see an art exhibit and maybe swing by one pubs for a little bit of Shepard's pie.
