London!


Today was mostly a travel day. We traveled by train from Plymouth to London, which took about 4 hours. When we arrived we had to lug our suitcases from the train to the tube to the dorms. Note to self: never bring a duffel bag, rolling suitcases are the best bet. When we arrived I quickly realized how good we had it in Plymouth at Radnor hall. The dorms were less than desirable, but I was just happy to be in London. After settling in a bit, I met my friend who is also studying abroad in London. We went to Covent Garden for dinner. It was a really cool place, an indoor market with restaurants and shops. We sat down in the courtyard and ate while watching an orchestra ensemble play. After dinner, we made our way to the tube to the Apollo Theater to see Wicked. I have always wanted to see Wicked was really excited to finally be able to see it. It was a great experience. After the show, we went to a London pub for a drink. Although it was a short day in London, I did some pretty cool things that one can only do in London!
