Today we went to the Tate Britain, which is another of britains many fine free museums. Nothing was in it we had studied though, except for a small exhibit on turner.

Next we went to the part of town with the Victoria and Albert museum and the national history museum. The sun came out finally, so instead we walked down the street to Harrods, which was like a huge department store but for incredibly rich and fashionable people. A clothing museum. It had at least 4 floors and took up the entire block. It was like the place the brats on 'my super sweet 16' would fly out to get dresses for their party.

We stopped at a much cheaper area and I got a dress for graduation that I love, and was on sale, so now I officially have my England purchase.

Stopped at kings cross, and dound platform 9 3/4, which is NOT between platforms 9 and 10. Its actually just outside if platform 9, so you can take a picture with it even if you dint have a train ticket or an oyster card. It was fun, because true to the book, it was hard to find and just kind of unnoticeable.

Then we came back to the hotel and Megan made a grilled cheese sandwich in our tiny kitchen while I had some microwaveable popcorn. Comfort food for all.

Then we went to our final play at the national theater, "mister man". It was bizarre. Very disturbing, and unsettling, but so so good. It's a one man show from the perspective of a ?crazy? man/child who is doing gods work by spreading the word in his small town, but is also kind of a psychopath. I forget the actors name, but he did an amazing job. He was in inception, if that helps anyone. You would have to see it to even imagine what it was like; it was very different. There were a bunch of recordings and he would carry through life like he was reliving what happened the first time he recorded it, but he would leave parts out when he was thrust back into the present and then you would find out what you missed from the first time... Bizarre.

Tomorrow is pretty clear in the schedule, which is great.. I'm ready to catch up on my journals and get everything reorganized. Maybe even get back to a little reading!
