Last week of school!

So the last week of school - we all took it pretty easy considering we had a big exam to take (harder than the first 2) and lots and lots of readings to do but we did manage to have some fun!

This is a pic of the Trafalgar Square fountains at night. They were really cool. London is really really lit up at night - it's a beautiful city once it gets dark too!










We walked past Trafalgar Square on the way to Her Majesty's Theatre. Four of us saw Phantom of the Opera there. We HAD to see a play while we were here in London. The London "West End" is a lot like New York's Broadway. It has a ton of shows - good ones. Phantom has been playing at the same theatre for 23 years!














Madelyn, Katie, Aaron and I all went to see Phantom, but the tickets we got were 2 and 2. Each pair was in the same row - opposite sides. It was a great show. Tons of fun. I was still a little sick at the time (I feel 100% better now by the way - stupid strep).




Then the last night - Friday night - after our tests, classes are done and we had to move out of our dorms the next morning - we went out to O'Neills in Muswell Hill (on the north side). I blogged about it before - it has the San Francisco like streets overlooking London. Really beautiful. So we had one last celebration together! It was a ton of fun.



The next day I went to the Camden Town market to check it out. It was really different from Portobello Market and just really different in general. Much of it happens inside - or semi-inside as you can see from the pictures. This is known as the stables. A century or so ago these were horse stables - so each store is in a long, skinny room with a semi-circle roof and the corridors are reallyl small and crowded - but it's really neat. Got a couple of trinket type stuff for some gifts and for keeping - all in all a good day!
Oh yeah - i bought a new suitcase there too - got a GREAT deal on it - if you remember from my 2nd blog or so - mine is now missing one wheel which sucks to try to move with so this one will be much much better for getting home!
