Of all the markets I went to on this trip, I believe that the market I stumbled upon whilst exploring Banglatown. I was with a small group on the hunt for some good thrifting, but as we kept walking, we ran into a small market with tables and tables of trinkets. I dug through jewelry …

Secret Life of Humans 🐾 Fringe Show
Royal Academy of Dramatic Art did an exceptional job with this play by David Byrne. It is by far my favorite straight play that I have ever seen. It constantly broke the 4th wall. All characters speak directly to the audience but the main narrator, Ava uses the audience as students in a university lecture …
The National Portrait Gallery
This painting is my favorite from the National Portrait Gallery. The Indigenous American Mohawk Warrior: Thayendanegea (Joseph Brant) Was an important ally of the British during the American War of Independence. The prominent Mohawk military and political leader, spoke at least 7 languages. Known as a talented leader & was proud of his identity, independence …
But when does Grace come on?
I am disappointed to report that Grace Prevades did not have the biggest influence on me during my time watching it, or reflecting back on it afterwards. I was excited to see this show because it was one of the few period pieces we had seen on the trip so far, and I was excited …
Time Traveler (Not SDC)
The other night, we all time-traveled back to Shakespearean days of old. We walked into Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and were absolutely stunned! Just kidding, we literally were here the other day for Mother Courage and Her Children. Anyways, this time we were at this theatre, we saw A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and it was as …
standing for 3 hours was worth it
To be standing in the building that is the exact replica of the theatre that Shakespeare’s plays were performed in in the 16th and 17th centuries felt absolutely unreal. It almost felt like stepping back in time, and there were times where I had to remind myself where I was, simply because it’s so easy …
Hope is Evergreen
Walking through the National Portrait Gallery, I was particularly struck by the portrait of Dame Christabel Pankhurst by Ethel Wright in about 1908. The subject stands in a dark space, reaching out to something out of distance. She wears a light green dress as well as a purple, green, and white sash. Christabel Pankhurst was …
If these walls could talk…
Being at Shakespeare’s globe was so surreal!!! I cant believe that plays were performed in the original of this replica over 400 years ago, that seems so unreal. Shakespeare is known is one of the greatest writers of his century and honestly in every century and getting to be in the replica of where he …
My Globe Debut 5/28/26
Guys, I cannot get over how amazing it was to see two shows at The Globe! As a Theatre major who’s been studying Shakespeare for years, it was so remarkably cool to be in an exact replica of his theatre from the 16th/17th centuries. It has always been a dream to see any show at …
Portraits for days!
Gooood morning! Last week we took a trip to The National Portrait Gallery, and as of right now it’s my favorite place we’ve been in London! The gallery sits right in Central London and holds portraits of historically important and famous British people. I’ve always really loved photography and what a single still can tell …
