A day of plays -- July 22, 2011

Friday we only had one class! That was nice. After that, we worked on journals and blogs for a little bit and then headed out to start our day.  A few of us had already purchased tickets for two different plays.  The first one that we went to was at 2:30.  It was A Midsummer Night's Dream.  It was being performed at a church near Covent Garden.  It was very different from any other play I have seen a) because it was a modern version of a classic and b) the sets didn't change, the audience actually moved around the church and grounds to different sets.  It was very interesting. There was one part of the play when they needed the assistance of an audience member. Molly volunteered. They ended up needing her to play the part of a wall.

After this play, we grabbed a quick dinner at a Mexican place close by. Then Molly and I made our way to the Globe Theatre.  There, we saw Anne Boleyn. It was so good. I really enjoyed it. The Globe is so beautiful.  

We were really excited because there was only a 30 % chance of rain that day. Molly and I decided that we didn't think we'd need our jackets. We were wrong. Fifteen minutes before the play was over, it started to rain and became windy.  We were freezing! 

When we got back to school, Molly just happened to look at the sidewalk and discovered this. 

This is definitely the largest slug that I have ever seen. It might even break the world record for largest slug. It was gross. Molly thought it was mean of me to say that I wanted to go get salt....Oh well.
