London

Me, Maddie, and Millie by Tower Bridge

Last Thursday we took the chunnel from Paris to London. We stayed in one hotel for one night, then moved to the one we are in now. We have been to the British Museum, the Wallace collection, National Gallery, Stonehenge, Salisbury, and Stourhead.

Stourhead Gardens

Stourhead gardens are currently famous for being the set for a certain scene in the new Pride and Prejudice where Mr. Darcy first tells Liz Bennet he loves her. It was the most beautiful garden I've ever seen! Since we've been in London the weather has been sunny And a little windy. 
I went to The Lion King last Friday night. 

It was AMAZING! We've also been to Abbey Road, you know the Beatles one, and to 221b Baker Street.

On Monday night we went to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre for the classic, A Midsummer Night's Dream. It was beyond funny and worth seeing again. The groundlings who watched back in the day could pay one pence and were allowed. stand through the entire show. We paid 5 pounds, since tickets are not as cheap as they used to be, but it was well worth it!

Tomorrow we are going to the Tate Britian, and having pastys for lunch (paid for by the program). The program ends on Thursday night. 

Popcorn fish'n'chips! Yum!
