July 16
After a late night "taking in the city" Caitlin and I got up early to venture for day of West End play tickets. I was really looking forward to seeing Pgymalion, staring Rupert Everett. The line for TKTS (discount, day of tickets) opens at 9am and we got there just before 9am. The line was already 50 people deep. We both kept our fingers crossed. Our vigelance paid off.....not only did we get tickets, but we got 10 rows back!
With tickets in hand, we walked through Trafalgar square to head to Westminster to meet some of our other classmates. And that's when the rained came....and it poured some more. This was soaked through your jeans, soaked to the bones wet! It was at that point that seeing the city via the double decker bus seemed like a much more relaxing (and dry) idea! I was able to see the London Eye, Parliament, Tower of London. And guess what the rain stopped! I used this opportunity to walk some more. So I got off walked through Regent's Park. We didn't have much time before meeting for dinner and heading back to the West End for the show!!!
Not only was Pygmalion everything I had hoped...we stayed around the back of the house entrance and were able to meet some of the cast! I was able to meet Rupert Everett, and Kara Toinen who played Eliza Doolittle. After meeting another classmate for some drinks, we called it night. But not before we ran into a hen party on the tube! The rain wasn't going to ruin this day!
