... except one

For all children grow up... except one.


Peter Pan at the Barbican Theatre last night was incredible! The best play I have seen in London so far.

Don't you love the story of Peter Pan? What are your favorite stories from growing up?

Lost boys forever!

hello, my friends

It's been a while. London is still great - I have been gone 1 month today. Nuts! This week we went to Scotland, Edinburgh. It was rad - pictures to come. Last night we went to Macbeth at the Globe theater. HO. LY. CRAP. O. LEE. I really liked it. It was easily the darkest, most disturbing play that I have seen, but it was masterfully done. Incredible. Let me see if I can find pictures of Macbeth and Malcolm... because I think all my female readers would appreciate this.
Yes, hello, this is Macbeth. Yeah. He was extremely hot. And extremely built. Just sayin'.

However, I was kind of a sucker for Malcolm... I cannot find any pictures of him. Rats. Just know he was Scottish and goooood-lookin'.

I liked Macbeth a lot - I kind of want to see the James McAvoy movie now...
Pictures to come.

to love another person is to see the face of God

So the last couple of days: whaaaat? They have been crazy. Today was incredible incredible incredible.
here are some pictures:
Mom, this is for you! It's not Holland, but it's beautiful beautiful florals.


So this is a sphynx. It is right next to the 60 foot tall 'Cleopatra's Needle' that was  a gift to england from Mohammed Ali [not that one]. But... there is scaffolding around like 30% of the entire city and the needle happened to be included in that percent. The sphynx was way cooler though, right?
on one of our walks last night we walked down Drury Lane! ... the muffin man had apparently vacated the premises or already gone home for the night so let me just say that it was pretty ... lame... ish.
These are some early weapons found in the Museum of London. The whole time I was there, I thought of you, Jony. I took a thousand pictures for you but they are unfortunately not as cool. You're just going to have to come and see it for yourself, I guess.
From there we walked just down the street to the Cathedral of St. Paul. (as in "feed the birds, tuppence a bag....") and I have awesome pictures from all over the place. see up at the tippy top just below that wonky cross? That is where I was. Yeah. Best view ever. These next pictures are from the top below the top. still cool, just 152 stairs lower.

Okay, now get ready for it. The BEST part of the day ... ready???


 AHHHH!!!!! So good. So, so, SO good. I was giddy. Eponine (Brit's dream role) and Jean Val Jean were phenom. seriously. I leaked a tear... kind of. It was impressive. I can't describe it well enough. 27.50 pounds WELL SPENT.
Carly, Me, and Whitney at Les Mis. I just love these two already.

So that's all i'm going to write tonight. Tomorrow is homework day. fuuuuuun. But with these characters, I'm sure it will be.
See you soon.
love, from London
