It's been 10 days

since my last post! So sorry to keep you all in the dark about my adventures.

I have been super busy trying to finish up all my final papers for my classes. But I AM DONE!!! No more work, and only adventures  :D

So on July 10th, my class did a tour of the Globe Theatre (my favorite place in London).

Outside the Globe


The side of the Cathedral








On the walk over we visited the beautiful St. Paul's Cathedral. It was an amazingly sunny day and the walk was refreshing.

Me outside the Cathedral....with my weird twisted foot (idk why that is happening)
 We also walked across the Millennium Bridge (featured and destroyed by the Death Eaters in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows film). So that was exciting, especially since I was going to the Harry Potter Studio Tour that day!

The actual tour of the Globe was not all that interesting but we got a sneak peak of a new play called Gabriel, as they were rehearsing for their opening that was about to occur in a few days. Seeing the cast rehearse was an new and awesome experience. They had to do some stuff over cause some people forgot their lines, but it was great to see the different choices that an actor would make the second time around. It really makes me wish I could act.

After we had the tour and talked about the play we were going to see the next night, A Midsummer Nights Dream, in one of the rooms. Myself and two of my friends got locked in the room as we were trying to leave! You need an employee card to open the door and, because we are slow grandmas, got a little behind the group and locked underneath the theatre. After about 10 minutes of trying to get someones attention, a random Danish chick who was on a different tour told someone we were locked in. A really nice worker finally came and set us free. After opening the door and seeing us, she exclaimed "My Prisoners!". I would get locked and trapped at the Globe theatre. It was hilarious but also super embarrassing.
