The Victoria and Albert Museum: My Fair Princess
The Victoria and Albert museum is one of the best museums I have ever been to. I know, I have said that about every museum we have gone to, but they just keep getting better! Our assignment for this post was to find an object in the museum and relate it to a play we …

Tomato on my pancake?!
As far as food goes, London has so many options it will make your head spin. Out of all of my food adventures in London, the weirdest and most interesting would have to be a savory pancake from My Old Dutch. When my friend Ben told me we had to go eat there, I was …
Fringe Theatre: Girl on an Alter
Greek tragedies aren’t really my thing. The shows are usually hard to sit through and the endings are always so sad that I want to jump off a bridge after watching them. Kidding. But seriously, Greek tragedies are hard to produce and even harder to watch if done badly. Thankfully, Kiln Theatre’s production of Girl …
gOODBYE I AM SAD
I am going to start with the coach ride to Stratford. Between Brendan, next to me, doing an honestly fantastic impression of Javier and Dru, Ben, Abby, and Shiloh doing equally amazing impressions of every other character in Les Mis back and forth to one another, the ride felt so short.

Borough Market and Food
Food in London is different, this does not mean it was bad or good, I found food that was on both side of the spectrum. I visited many of the markets around London and each was filled with so many different types of food it was very hard to choose what to eat every time …
Stratford-Upon-Avon
I was kind of disappointed by the lack of theater we’ve gotten to see at the end of this trip. I was really looking forward to seeing real British Shakespearean theater and I saw none. Nonetheless, I’ve gotten to see at least half a dozen monuments to the Bard while in England. I like how …
Last Day :(:
The last leg of our trip brought us to Shakespeare’s hometown, Stratford Upon Avon. Every day of this program had been spent exploring and experiencing incredibly significant things around England. When you are surrounded by that many incredible things sometimes it can be hard to even process that it’s in front of you. We spent …
