So this weekend I went into London with Connor, Leah, Kelsey and Christina and met up with Christy, Bryce, and Phil to see they famous and wonderful play, Le Miserables. Connor, Leah, Kelsey, Christina and I left early to go shopping and get lunch before we got to the Theatre in London. We did not do any substantial shopping, but it was fun to go window shopping and have interesting conversations about all the different levels of hell meant for the people in our group! Apparently there is a special level in Hell for me for Karate kicking rabid foxes!
We had a ton of fun walking around and shopping. After shopping, we went to the Golden Lion Pub and I had Fish and Chips (Now I can officially check that off my bucket list!). The pub was right by the Theatre so when we finished eating, we went straight to the Box Office to pick up tickets. Unfortunately, Bryce and Phil were late because there was a lot of traffic coming in to London. Connor and Leah had purchased their tickets under Bryce, meaning they could not get their tickets without Bryce! They were stressing because we didn't want to miss any of Le Mis. The guy at the Box office was so nice and gave Leah and Connor their tickets and let us go in so we didn't miss any of the play.
The play was soooooooooooooooo amazing!!!!!!!! All of the actors were talented and had beautiful singing voices. I have to admit I was crying like a baby the entire play! Here is a picture of Connor, Leah, Kelsey, Christina and I during our wonderful Les Mis adventure:
After the play was over, we started walking behind back to get to the street that led to our bus stop. When we got around back the actors of the play started coming out of the back door so we were able to see the Les Mis actors! It was cool to see them up close, and it was cute to see them signing the play books of these two old ladies that were ecstatic at the opportunity.
On our way back to the bus we stopped at the Wonderful Waffle and got . . . well . . . waffles. I had a waffle with Nutella, Bananas, and Cream (this is just whipped cream, but Brits just call it cream). An interesting fact about England is the obsession the citizens have with nutella. EVERYONE eats nutella here. We actually have a group effort to collect all of the nutella jars in the Vines and stack them in the Kitchen. We want to see how many nutella jars were used during the Hillary Term at Oxford. The English Nutella obsession has spread to the Americans in the Vines.
Needless to say (after that huge rant), Les Miserables = AMAZINGNESS, Nutella = AMAZINGNESS, and the people in the Vines = AMAZINGNESS! I shall now go and read the articles I am procrastinating.
Tata for now,
Katie
