Starting off with some highlights of the day, well yesterday,
•Big Ben & The London Eye
Just gazing from afar, but amazing all the same.
•The British Museum
Admission is free, but we did buy a museum map for £2. Since we had a late lunch, it was already 3 o’clock by the time we got to Russell Square station, just two hours before the museum’s closing time. Joy was starting to get a bit antsy because she doesn’t have much more time in London. 🙁 She’s actually heading back to Taiwan early to do some volunteer work. My sister, always the giver. (Hey, it actually rhymes:D)
I think it’s awesome that you get to spend this time with your parents :). I wouldn’t say I was a huge fan of musicals, but I do like them. I went to se Les Mis in the theater and cried like a stinkin baby the entire time!! It was great! And when I read that they actually sang live, that it wasn’t recordings, while filming I was even more enamored by the film. 🙂
So jealous you got to see it live and I love the movie too. Anne Hathaway’s
rendition of ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ is so powerful and it nearly brought me to tears.
I’m a HUGE figure skating fan too and the music to Les Mis has been used for years! Love it!
I love musicals! I don’t think I could pick a favorite. Does Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog count? The only one I’ve been lucky enough to see on stage (well performed by professionals and not students) is Wicked and it was ah-maz-ing! I wanted to stay and see it again the next day.
I saw wicked a few years ago and it really was so amazing. 🙂
