The West End (April 5th)

April 5, 2008

The clouds had rolled in and the temperature had begun to drop (you will notice a theme of this over the next couple blogs) in London, as Jordan and I trekked to The West End (the Broadway of England) to enjoy the 2006 Tony Winner for Best Play: The History Boys.

Jordan and I decided to get the tickets we could afford...Matinee Tickets sitting way up in the French Alps...well that was seemingly the incline we were sitting at as we looked down and saw the tops of the heads of the actors...which just so you know, that would be really good for me because I do my best acting with my scalp...

Seeing that this trip is about adventure, Jordan and I took this opportunity to sneak down to the "rich persons" level at intermission where there were a few open seats. We felt like rebels and really cool of course. Due to this it seemed to Jordan and I that the actors grew tremendously in size during intermission...

If you want a review of the play, ask me later as we have a ton of blogs to catch up on!!

That evening Jordan and I had a mission to go to the pub and meet people! Well, this proved difficult as all the pubs we could find closed at midnightish and they were all half empty. On top of that, the beer we order to make ourselves more out going (as if we need that) was served warm...which it is is suppose, but which my body said it ain't! So after two separate trips to the pub, we discovered everyone goes out right after work on the weekdays and not on the weekends and just called it quits and prepared for our morning trip to Paris...

A few notes: We didn't go to the Tower of London as we wouldn't had enough time there with the matinee show starting when it did. Also, we swung by the National Gallery and discovered we enjoy paintings a lot more than pottery.

And an observation, that someone has made to us: The British Museum has nothing British in it!

Just think about that as you continue to get caught up on our blogs!
