Day 6: Free Day

Today was our free day, and we all went on various trips. We all started out going to buy tickets for a West End show tonight. Ben, Melissa, and Heather went off to the Globe afterwards. It was really neat to see the place where many of Shakespeare's plays were put on, and where many plays still occur. The theater itself does not have a bad seat in it, and it is amazing to see how well sound travels in the building even though there is an open roof. After touring the Globe, we went off to Tate Modern (a modern art museum). We walked around and try to come up with meanings to the works of art that we came across. One of our favorite pieces is one that has a statue of Venus with a pile of clothing in front of her. We had a lot of fun coming up with meanings to that piece. After dinner we went off to see Phantom of the Opera, and the rest of the group went to see Les Miserables. Phantom was excellent! I am really glad that we had the time to see such a great musical while here.
