London (with captions): L&P DLC: What I failed to mention (the last days in London + Paris)

Because of of crappy wifi in our old inn, updating the blog was extremely difficult, but now I'm in Paris and at a hotel that has infintely more reliable wifi. This post will be a quick recap of what happened in the last three days of London and what's happened in Paris so far.

The top two things to mention are Stonehenge and the London theatre. As people who read my blog way back when, I never got to see Stonehenge. Everyone told me that Stonehenge was a lot smaller than you think, so when I saw it, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was as big as I thought it was!

After Stonehenge, we went to Bath (again for me) and saw the Roman Baths (again for me). I spent 55 minutes at the Jane Austin Center but other than that, nothing really else worthy of mention.

Moving on, the group went to the Tower of London and then we all broke off to buy tickets to the London theatre. We were given £50 for tickets to the theatre. 2/3 of the group went to see Wicked (all for the first time), one went to Once, another went to Les Mis and I was going to go to Matilda again. Once, Les Mis and I went on our own to buy our tickets. We went on a rolicking adventure to a coffee shop, clothing stores, Hamley's (super toy store) and to our respective box offices. I changed my mind after having bought my ticket and did a switchero for a drama show, Let the Right One In, which was terrifying! It's a horror play and scared me a couple times (they freaking jump scare you!) I was super close to the stage in seat D13 (fourth row form the stage.)

I spent my last day in London as a day of contemplation (as you may have read earlier.) Now, it's time to move on to Paris. Our time in Paris was off to a rocky start. Foreign language, new tube system, new map, reaching our hotel was a struggle, especially for those who had big luggage bags that had to be rolled on the uneven streets. Lately, I've been just standing off to the side when it comes to navigating the city. When we were in London, I was trying hard to not be too "I know everything about the city, listen, look, and follow me!" and letting everyone have their own adventure. I also don't know anything about this city, so I can't offer a lot of help anyways.

So far, we've walked along the Pons des Arts, the bridge covered in lovers' locks, we saw Notre Dame, Sainte Chapelle and went into the Centre G. Pompidou. We have much more scheduled for our last week of this special Study Abroad Downloadable Content. Stay tuned for more!
