"OH! EE'S A MULE!"

Today was an interesting chapter in the adventure. We had class this morning during which Kaitlin and I finally purchased our tickets to Leavesden Studios. We're going to the real Hogwarts on Monday!! And then we headed off to see a puppet show... on a boat. We went through this teeny tiny door to get onto the boat in which was a small theater. And we watched a puppet show about a horse (but he turned out to be a mule) who went missing and then learned how to tap dance and got a television contract with some balancing chickens or something. Guys it was weird. 

And then we ate food... because that's what we do here. The people at the Italian place know what we want so they don't even bother giving us menus anymore. Then we went to another show. We saw The Alchemist in the Rose Theatre which was pretty fun. The Rose was rebuilt and modeled after the original Rose which was an Elizabethan theatre that rivaled the Globe. So it hosted the greats like Shakespeare and Marlowe. History and culture and theatre and stuff!

We had three mandatory class activities so there wasn't much time for spontaneity. In a way that's good because then we experience things that we wouldn't normally. But really I could have done without the floating puppet show.

I read newspapers now. Newspapers are cool.

Here's something that makes me laugh. I love Peter Griffin. And we walk past William and Kate's palace all the time. They're our neighbors.
