Now I feel like the official tourist. Big Ben is definitely one of the most famous sites to see in London, and today we got to walk right by it! Also in that area is the Parliament Building and Westminster Abbey. These buildings are so intricate and detailed! We didn't have the opportunity to go inside, but I'm pretty sure we will go as a class. This evening we got to see a performance of Julius Caesar in the Globe Theatre! It was actually not as big as I thought it would be, but the stage was gorgeous. The play was pretty interactive, the actors often ran through the crowds and were up in the balconies. It made reading the play yesterday worth it because I had a better grasp as to what was going on. It was very well done and I had an extremely enjoyable experience.

Our tickets were for the middle, which is standing room only. They call us "Groundlings." Luckily, we found this box to lean on, which made the experience even better!
We were trying to get the flash to work... When we finally did, no one was ready!
London at night.... Love this place :)
