A Fine Day...

Last night we went to the National Theatre and saw "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" by Tom Stoppard.  It was a wonderfil piece and I am glad I was able to see it.  Looking at the theatre, it was mostly a white audience with little to no diversity present.  It was odd to me that with London being such a cosmopolitan city it would be like this but I guess you never know.  Walking down the river to get to the theatre made me realize London is a river city and its people know this and respect this.  The river makes London and without it, there would be nothing.  Anyway, after we went to the pubs for a bit and that was fun.  This morning we had class and I spent the afternoon wandering around the Kensington Gardens and saw the Peter Pan statue as well as the monument to Prince Albert.  The Peter Pan statue was awesome and it made me think about not wanting to grow up and stay right where I am in life--wish it could happen but I think not, to grow up is an adventure that still awaits me.   The Albert monument itself was amazing--so many things had meaning and I am still researching it.  It must be nice to have hundreds, if not thousands of years of history to be proud of--maybe one day the US will have that as well.  Oh well, I am off to do homework, later!
