Bury me in Yankee Stadium

I suppose this class thing isn't going to be so bad. Yesteday our speaker was an actor/director with the Royal Shakespearean Company, and it really was a fascinating lecture. Theatre here is different than it is in the states - it's for all classes, all types of people. We're going to see a couple shows while we're here, but I'd like to catch some on my own. Maybe even Jerry Springer: The Opera. No, I'm not making that one up.

After class, 10-15 of us went out for happy hour to celebrate D's birthday, and then I took her out to a nice Italian place for dinner. All in all, a good day.


This morning we went down to Westminster Abbey, which is actually smaller than you might expect. It's still gorgeous inside, but the highlight is seeing the tombs of countless famous people. Dickens, Darwin, Newtown, Byron, Faraday, Caroll, Tennyson, Chaucer, etc...and that's not including all the Kings and Queens.

As I write this, I'm waiting for my laundry to finish. But after that, we have a welcome dinner at a local pub, the important part being that we don't have to pay!
