I have been so fascinated by all the museums we have gone to and while the Victoria & Albert Museum wasn’t my favorite as a whole, the theatre related wing of the museum was one of my favorite exhibits to get lost in. At first, when I walked through the ballet/dance portion I was worried …

Food!
The Scene: We are about the see Girl on an Alter. We have time but not very much. There is food all around, but I cannot seem to find anything appealing. The group that I usually hang out with sees a Shawarma place. My heart drops. I have the palette of a 12-year-old. We …
Food and Drink
The stereotype is that British food is disgusting at worst and bland at best. While it might be harder to find spicier food here than in the States, it’s pretty flavorful. And I’m just talking about the traditional British food. I haven’t mentioned the international food all over London. I just got back from a …

The Roman Baths
I was unable to attend the group on their journey to Bath. I was still very sick as I had only first started having symptoms 5 days before. This bummed me out immensely because visiting the Roman Baths was one of my top things that I was excited to do. So needless to say, I …
The Glass Menagerie
The Glass Menagerie a play that I have read many times but never seen a production of until recently at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London. I have read this play multiple times and discussed it in a few of my classes, it was interesting to finally see it performed on stage. I have …
My Food Journey
Spitalfields Market June 17th Finally, a whole blog devoted to food and specifically the markets that I have been able to visit. I got to explore Borough, Spitalfields, and Camden Market. Our group did not visit Borough Market, but I wanted to stop by and see it in action. It reminded me of the Seattle …
The Victoria-Albert Museum
The Victoria Albert Museum had very shocking pieces. Everything in that museum was interesting and represented a profound cultural moment. I wish we had seen some Shakespeare while we were here, because there were so many historical pieces I was obsessed with. For example, there were costumes worn by Lawrence Olivier and Judi Dench for …
