Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Place was such a beautiful place and such a nice experience. It was a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of London. Even just walking into the grounds, where there was a beautiful field of flowers was so enjoyable. That flower garden was one of the most beautiful to me—I think the …
What a Lovely Palace You’ve Got, Hampton!
When it comes to Hampton Court Palace, I was not expecting much. I had heard of Westminster Abbey before and while that was neat, it was not at all what I thought it was. I had never even heard of Hampton Court Palace, so I had no idea what to expect. Little did I know, …

Life at the Hamptons
I think to live there at the time would be awesome, because who wouldn’t love to live in a palace, but it felt cold and lonely to me. I just wonder how much liberty even the monarchs had at the time to decorate and make these spaces their own. If I had my own apartment …
Long Day’s Long Play
Today we went to see Long Day’s Journey into Night. It was a beautiful play that shows the horror of addiction and strife it can bring to a family, along with other societal issues. This play was hard to watch. The Mother portrayed addiction and the mental state of self hatred and deflection amazingly well. …
a VERY LONGGGGG Journey into the Night
I don’t know how to feel about this show. I think reading the play before watching this interpretation of it, made it really underwhelming.

Living Up To The Name (Not In A Good Way)
Long Day’s Journey Into Night is a very interesting play. Written by Eugene O’Neill and loosely based on his own life, it follows a day in the life of the Tyrone family, and all the arguments and misfortune that befall them. The play lends itself to a more serious and dramatic tone than the kind …

The Most Gorgeous Place EVER: Hampton Court Palace!
We had a nice and early start to the day today! We took da tube, switched, and then took a train out to Molesey. Molesey is located roughly 12 miles out of London, along the River Thames. The air was fresh, crisp, and a wee chilly. Just how I like it! We were then off …

Remembrance of Westminster
Standing next to the high altar of Westminster Abbey, we were listening to our tour guide discuss the history of coronation and the area itself. The time was nearing three o’clock, which I did not notice. What I did notice, however, was a man in a priest’s robes with a red stole, evidently an important …
