Great news! Midsummer Night's Dream got rescheduled, and I saw it last night! I really enjoyed it. We all sat in the 'Dress Circle' area, basically their balcony. The theatre was right downtown London, next to the Waterloo and Westminster bridges. I took some cute pictures of Big Ben and the London Eye at night all lit up (hope to post soon). Saw Wicked on Wednesday night, absolutely amazing! It was extravagant, the wicked witch was the best singer ever, and overall it was three hours of pure enjoyment! Our whole group sat within the first three rows. The musical was stunning; costumes were bright and embellished and the set was huge and creative.

Today we attempted to check out the Camden Market, however, it was kinda rainy all day and most of the little booths weren't open. So instead we walked out to Regents Park and found the London Zoo (walked by it), and then hopped on a bus to Baker Street and walked to a computer store on Tottenham Court Road for Katy to buy a mini 'baby' computer. After that we hung out at Costa Coffee and I did homework for about 4 hours today! I got all my critiques and papers done for Theatre class, now I just have a bit more to do on reviews for the museums and answering some general questions for my Contemporary Europe class.

Only one more full day in London. Theatre class tomorrow from 10-noon, then off to the London Bridge to view the London Tower and I found a Rupert Street I'd like to get a picture off. Then let the packing begin! Off to Edinburgh via bus at 9:30am Sunday morning. I'm so excited to travel more, I feel like I've gotten a great dose of London and can't wait to keep travelin'. Plus, I get to visit Katie and Jenny in Scotland as well at the Dalkeith Castle (they're studying in the Wisconsin in Scotland Program)!!!

Write more later...
