Westminster Abbey is magnificent. They don't allow photographs, but I found out about that after I took a few pictures. I didn't think repentance included erasing the photos I had already taken.
Security is tight at Number 10 Downing Street. This is as close as we could get. The guy with the machine gun eyeing us was actually very nice.
The Globe Theatre is a hoot. The stage is covered, but standing room only is open sky in front of the stage. Seating is also covered and is circular around the stage behind the SRO crowd. We saw the Merchant of Venice. I was glad to have read the Cliff notes in the program just prior to the production. We sat front row, bottom tier, center stage. It poured rain on the poor folks standing. By the end of the show I was understanding most of it.
We got home about 11:30 pm. We are packed. It is now 1:30 am and we get up at 5:00 for a taxi at 6:00 and a long plane ride at 9:15. Which brings up the question, "Why am I posting this now?"
