We spent a rainy, chilly weekend in London a couple of week ago, but no one goes to London for the weather. It was Mareike's first time in London so we saw the main sights, a 2nd time for me. We went to Buckingham Palace this time, which I didn't see last time, and its nice that I've seen it I suppose, but its not that interesting. At least not from the outside. I sometimes can't keep from thinking, while in London, about how much more impressive Paris is. It's not to say that London isn't a great town. It is, there's plenty to see and do, but there's so much more to see in Paris! Things to do in London though, there's plenty. This time around we saw a play and two musicals all in 2 days. The play was titled The Woman in Black and it was a horror with only 2 actors and very entertaining in a small theater with, it turns out, lots of easily startled students! On Saturday we saw a matinee of We Will Rock You to get out of the rain for a bit. It was a huge production with lots of fun music from Queen. Such a spectacle. I never would have thought of going to an extra musical that afternoon but I'm glad we did. Then Saturday night at last I saw Wicked. It was also really neat to watch after loving the music for a few years now. I loved my 2nd trip to London and it was nice having two weekends there that were so different. So to sum up my take on London in a sentence, its a neat city that really calls for a cozy cup of tea with such dreary weather.
Buckingham Palace (the Queen was there, Richard told us, because the flag was raised.)
