Tired of London

A man who is tired of London is tired of life! That is so true, the more i'm here the more i have done, the more i do the more i realize i haven't done and yet want to do! This is one of the coolest cities, with an unlimited amount of stuff to do!

Yesterday began with an amazing adventure.  This has been interesting to travel unscripted in London it is the first real time that i have been in charge of traveling and making things work.  Because up till now i have always just deepened on someone else, but now its just up to me.  So yesterday we took off on an hour trip to Windsor castle.  The tube was nothing new but the train was a new experience on our own.  There is nothing more fun that a majestic adventure on train.  We bought tickets and within a few moments after eight we were on are way across the majestic country side of Briton.  If you want to know how it felt: think rolling hill, all green with lush dark trees, majestic rivers, old ancient towns, ocean, and a sparse fog: then through a lulling rocking rail car picture Hogwarts up on the hill.  It was amazing.

We spent the entire morning in Windsor.  It had amazing brick walls with a small town almost inside.  We went through St. George Cathedral with its amazingly painted organ, and bold vaulted walls.  Here is buried Charles I, Henry VIII, his wife Catherine, and more.  The choir held a dazzling display of wood work and craftsmanship.

After touring the cathedral we watched the changing of the guard and saw the doll house.  This is a huge doll house that hold an unreal amount of detail, including working pluming and lighting.  After the doll house we saw and exhibit of photographs of the queen--which reminded me of my grandma.

After wondering for a few minutes we toured the state rooms of the castle.  They were as grand as ever with the most impressive being the grand hall--impressive just because of its size and the fact it was filled with amazing portrait of everyone that fought during the victory of Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo.  Also of a grand nature was the Knights hall were a table of over 168 people is place for royal dinners.  It was an amazing castle for sure.

Finishing with the castle we got lunch at Eat and then walked around the town.  It too was filled with amazing shops down every street.  After we headed back home.

Once in London we toured the Soane museum, which is a very crazy house of a very exotic collector.  He collected all kinds of crazy things stuck them in his house and then when he died they turned it into a museum.  Crazy!

We then came home got some dinner and headed back out to see Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  It was an amazing play because of the theater. The theater is in the east end of London literally under a rail road.  The audience is only about 30-40 and you site almost literally in the stage with the pit right next to you.  One of my favorite numbers was 'if someone like you found someone like me'.  The girl who sang this was amazing! Another one of my most favorite part was the war between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, they used choreography with mirrors and an amazing song.  You could tell which one he was playing just by looking at him, no the less the dialog.  It was awesome.

And with all good nights it ended with ice cream.
