Post #3 Day in London

After a very exhausting night of bar hopping and dancing, Wednesday we all piled on the train to London for the day. We were headed there to see 'Romeo and Juliet' at Shakespeare's Globe Theater. When we go into town Jeff immediately got us lost on the wrong side of London Bridge. After wandering around for an hour, and a slight detour to take pictures in from of the Tower of London, we finally made our way back to the correct side of the bridge near the globe. Hear we found a cute little inexpensive pub. I ordered my new usual of fish and chips but got a little more fish then i was expecting. This was my first, but not last, experience with 'skin-on' fish and chips. while i was in the process of dissecting my lunch to avoid the skin, a very drunk, confused man wandered over to our table. He kept mumbling nonsense and getting increasingly closer to our table. Eventually Dr. Bradford made him cry like she apparently does to most grown men. After our very eventful lunch we headed over to the Globe where we stood in the cold to watch a very congested and annoying Juliet. Needless to say our entire class left at intermission. Meghan, Dani, and I went over to a nearby Starbucks to warm up and decided to start to make our way back to Grantham early. On our way back we stopped and say platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross. A very exciting moment if i do say so myself. We then ran to catch our train back to Grantham. This was were we had our first experience with rush hour in London. Not only were all of the seats on the train booked ahead of time, but the train was one cart short as well. we ended up standing practically the entire trip in between two of the cars. When we finally got back to Grantham we wandered around the after 6pm ghost town and found a nice little Italian place to eat dinner. After dinner we headed back to the manor and fell asleep very very early. Long cold days and camped train rides really take it out of you.
