Friends from around...

This week has been one of the fullest ones yet. On Monday, we made a trip to Stratford Upon Avon with class. We saw Shakespeares birthplace and a few other local attractions the first night. We also saw the Tempest, which was done in the fashion of African customs, similar to the Lion King. It was amazing! I would say this is probably the best Shakespeare production I have ever seen. The costuming was awesome and the acting was superb. We spent the night at the Forget Me Not B and B and Tuesday saw us traveling to Mary Ardens Farm, which had numerous different animals and to Anne Hathaways House. After we went to Warwick Castle, which was one of the touristy places I have seen. I also had the opportunity to hold a Falcon, which was really cool.
On Wed., our friends from Paris, Amanda, Lucy, and Sarah, came to London for a short visit. It was so much fun hanging out with them and we tried to take them to all the local London establishments. We ended up going to Tiger Tiger Club which was a lot of fun and saw us meeting some french girls. There is a good story with this so if you want to know, ask me, its not appropriate for the internet. Thursday saw us going to see Wicked and a walk with Sarah around the museums and what not for class. For Wicked, we had seats five rows from the front and it was amazing! On Friday, we went to Spitafields and then to Dennis Severs house, which is modeled to look like a house from the 1800's and was really cool. Now come Friday night. We went to see England People Very Nice and it was very interesting. We went to the platform by the author and someone stood up and started shouting the author was racist and it turned into this big thing with the guy getting on stage and trying to debate the author before finally being removed. While the guy had the right to say what he wanted, he chose the wrong time and place for it. Not only did the audience get mad, I am sure they lost any interest in hearing his point due to his rudeness. Oh well thats the week so far!
