london in a day

So the night before we leave for the london day trip i check the battery on my camera. There were 2/3 bars and I remembered how my dad always said charge a battery only after it dies otherwise it reduces the battery life. So I figured no problem, 75% of a battery would last a day. It died 30 minutes into the trip.

Luckily I got some pictures of Trifalgar Square and Buckingham palace before it crapped out on me. Even more lucky of me, my friends are camera whores as well and took lots of pics for me!!

Our day went like this: boarded the coach way too early, dropped annalyse and the other shakespeare class students off at the globe theater, went on a walking tour with Andy, picked up Annalyse, backtracked the walking tour so she could see everything, did some random shit, and watched another shakespeare play at the globe theater. The best part I'd have to say was when Andy, a program director, got us lost trying to pick up the shakespeare students from the globe theater. Yes, this is the same Andy who gave us a walking tour around London, and then managed to take me Karla and Alejandro on a 40 minute hunt to find those bitches in what should have only taken 5 minutes. The craziest part about it was when we got off the subway there was a sign that said 'globe theater this way' but Andy said, no no no..it's this way. Turned out, Andy was wrong.

^Right after this he said, don't worry i know where we are, and then started taking us in the wrong direction yet again. This time, he listened to the sign when it said 'globe theater this way'. We were only an hour late picking them up.

Then it was off to Buckingham palace again so that Annalyse could see it. We couldn't find where the guards were to take pictures with so we settled for these walking fools.

^Guard in training, wassup.

^ Finally got to try a pasty!! Couldn't find the stand that Jennifer was talking about since Covent garden is effing huge, but still worth it. It tasted nothing like cheese and bacon but it was still delicious.

^Outside of Westminster Abbey. Pretty sure I offended lots of people when I shouted at Annalyse to take a picture while I posed like Jesus, but hey, offending people is what I do best.

^On our way to the Globe theater with the much prettier Tower Bridge in the background. This time we watched a Shakespearean comedy called 'The Merry Wives of Windsor'. Muuuuuch better than that crap we were forced to sit through last time, but at least we got to sit! Since the program people are super cheap, they only got half the students sitting seats while the other half got put in the standing area as if they were peasants. The 3 of us got sitting seats but they made everyone switch halfway through so me Karla and Annalyse definitely got a good view of the play with our chins resting on the stage. Poor Annalyse could barely see over the ledge though, we're gonna bring her a stool next time.
