October 13
So I guess I'm just gonna try and fly through this past week so I can get caught up... Procrastination problems. The main thing we did this day was going to the Globe Theatre and watching Richard III. Now let me just tell you about this show. First of all, we were stuck "experiencing the show as the peasants would have" as groundlings. Which means you had to stand on the floor looking up at the stage for all THREE hours of the show. Needless to say, my feet were screaming in pain. I learned a hard lesson that standing is about... a thousand times harder than walking. But fun fact: Barty Crouch was in the play as Richard III's plotting cousin. The play wasn't too bad, though, I must admit. It was an interesting story and the actors were all really good, it was just not enjoyable at all having to stand and watch the show. In the rain. I mean obviously it was raining, it is London after all, but I was still pretty bitter about it. After the show, since it was Saturday Thaise was not gracing us with her fantastic culinary skills, so we had to go find our own dinner somewhere. That was when we stumbled upon my own personal heaven; also known as Benito's Hat. It's kind of the English version of Chipotle, but just with better marinated chicken. Oh my gosh it was so good I was drooling... And a big fat burrito was exactly what I had been craving, which is what happens when you leave a family that could possibly be partially Mexican by now with all of our taco and burrito nights. Now I need to explain something about the showers here at the London Centre. Brace yourselves, this gets gruesome. Let me set up the story. So there I was, just my innocent self counting down my two minutes till I'm done brushing my teeth, when I look behind me and right there in the mirror is a full naked body. In the shower, doin their thing. Yes, the shower doors are completely see through. I mean I'm not so concerned about the other girls seeing me in my birthday suit, but I sure as heck don't want to see theirs. Ew. I'll just say I was a little alarmed and now have to avert my eyes away from the mirror for the rest of the trip... Lovely.
