The first group to arrive in London got a bit of tube experience as soon as we hit the ground here. As we didn’t have our coach like we planned, we opted to take the tube from Heathrow to our hotel. At first, I was nervous about it, as I’ve heard the tube can be …

So Long London, for now.
Stratford felt like Fayetteville if it had a canal, swans, cottages, and a more impressive botanical scene. Shakespeare’s historical dwellings were amazing to see, even if I am not his biggest fan I could appreciate the man who pioneered plenty of the literature and theatre we see today. Becoming more familiar with his history and …
Siri, Play So Long, London
Well. This is it. I knew this day was coming, but I did not think it would be here so fast. Yes, we still have the rest of today left in Stratford-upon-Avon, but this is my last post. Ending the trip here in Stratford-upon-Avon feels perfect. It has been a nice place to get a …
King Lear in Stratford-upon-Avon
This is my first blog post while in Stratford-upon-Avon. I will hold off on too much regarding the town because our next prompt relates to the subject. We have already watched two shows here in town at Royal Shakespeare Company in The Other Place theatre. Today, as you can tell by the title, I will …
Playing Director and Costume Designer: Victoria and Albert Museum!
We are not going to talk about how I will no longer be in this beautiful city in a few days, okay? Instead, let us focus our attention on today’s blog prompt and location. We visited the Victoria and Albert Museum. We were supposed to go through the theatre exhibit, but it was closed. However, …

Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Palace is a place of beauty. Filled with rich history, there were many interesting things to see in every room that I went into. I’m a sucker for really old architecture and antiques. Luckily for me, this place was one huge antique for me to marvel over! We started by taking a train …
Westminster vs Downtown: Where’s the Better Abbey?
After two weeks in London, I can finally say that I have seen all of the famous landmarks. After walking all over the city, I somehow kept missing one of the most iconic buildings in all of London: British Mcdonald’s! I also went to Westminster Abbey, but they wouldn’t let me bring a burger inside. …

East Mrs. Adam (I’m so tired)
Westminster Abbey. Arguably the most infamous church in the entire world and reasonably so. This church is a spectacle to look at. The old english architecture is nothing like I’ve ever seen in a building. I’d imagine it’s what drugs would look like if it were a building, it’s that crazy to look at. I …
Westminster Abbey and Dead People
I have been waiting this whole trip for Westminster Abbey. I might not know a lot about architecture, but boy do I love me a dramatic gothic structure. I was under the impression we were not allowed to take pictures in most of the locations, but found that photography was allowed as long as there …
I Cried in the Bath
I think that I have quite possibly lived the best 24 hours of my life. I got to see Tom Holland as Romeo and have afternoon tea in the Roman Bath House all within the last couple days of this trip. Unfortunately, I have experienced these high highs followed by a pretty low low as …
