last night. Samantha and I didn't wake up until 7:40 today, but luckily everything turned out great!Yesterday we started out our morning at Waffle House! We don't think that it's the same one we have in America, but the waffles were absolutely delicious, and it was great to have something besides toast and bacon!
After breakfast we headed to St. Paul's Cathedral! It was absolutely beautiful! It is much more filled with light than Westminster, and the murals on the ceiling are incredible! Even the pictures from Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding don't do it justice! Samantha, Claire, and I walked all the way to the very top! That's 528 steps up many very steep, winding staircases, but the view from the top was more than worth the climb! We could see so much! Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, The London Eye, The Gherkin, Millennium Bridge, The Tower of London, Tower Bridge... It was amazing!
After leaving St. Paul's we headed to Brick Lane for
the very last time! We were so excited! We finished up our last 5 talks and didn't even have to eat any more curry get people to answer our questions!
Since I've been here, I've somehow managed to lose my camera and my cell phone, so we tried to retrace our steps from Wednesday in hopes of finding my phone, but sadly we had no luck. Samantha and I did enjoy a good lunch at a place that we had tried to find last week, but the location had moved, so our search after the Cathedral wasn't completely in vain!
After lunch we headed back to our room to work on our Power Point before supper and Billy Elliot. We were both craving chicken shawarma, so we went to a Lebanese restaurant right across from the Victoria Palace theatre. As for the show... Samantha can probably fill you in on that better than I can. The first act was a little slow, and I fell sound asleep during the second act. I was disappointed because I had really been looking forward to seeing it, but I guess going nonstop finally caught up with me!
I can't believe you fell asleep during Billy Elliot! That was one of my favorite musicals/plays I saw while in London. I actually bought a souvenir shirt I liked it so much! haha I love that yall found and also love chicken shawarma. I must have eaten it at least once a week when I was there!
