Day 19 Loose in London! Aug. 16, 2010


Today was our last day in London, and I gave my people a free day. I like to get them oriented and then turn them loose. They always love the adventure of being on their own in a foreign country, and I love hearing about their adventures when we get back together.





My grand-daughter loves Shakes-peare, so I took her to the Globe Theatre. It's a replica of the original, and it sits on the south bank of the river only a few hundred yards from where the original stood. We took a guided tour and had a wonderful time.

Here we are in the "groundling" space right in front of the stage. These were the cheapest tickets in Shakes-peares' day, what we would call SRO. You had to stand, but you were inches from the actors, and they had to play to you.

We met the others for dinner in a tiny place and then went to Love Never Dies, sequel to Phantom of the Opera. What could be better for our last night in London?

Woаh! I'm really digging the template/theme of this blog. It's
simple, yet еffесtive. A lot οf times it's hard to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you've done a аmazing job with this.
Also, the blog loads extrеmely quick for mе οn Opеrа.
Еxcellent Blоg!
