The Globe

Today we went to THE Globe theatre (for those of you who don't know, the theatre at which many of Shakespeare's plays premiered) and it was AMAZING! We saw a rendition of As You Like It. It was seriously a dream come true to be there. If you've seen Shakespeare in Love, you will recognize it. Some pictures...

We also saw Millennium Bridge, also known as the Wibbly Wobbly, also known as the bridge that snapped in the Harry Potter movie. It is a pedestrian walkway that crosses the Thames river! Which, by the way, is sitting QUITE low right now.


I also had my first class today: Modern British Novel. The reading is going to be pretty heavy with about one novel due each week, but she has broken up most of the readings with a field trip each week. I am very excited to go to some museums and really get a feel for how British people identify with their culture. My professor seems pretty inspiring and very knowledgeable!

Tomorrow I am going to a market with some other girls to do a little shopping, and in the afternoon I have my first Shakespeare class!
