3 more cards done!

Before I left DC this summer to go home to AZ one of my friends Nirvana who had studied abroad at UCL in fall 2009 gave me 30 London guided walks. Alyssia and my goal is to do every one of them which is starting to become difficult as our time in London decreases. We have 11 left after we completed three cards today! :) We first went to the Royal Courts of Justice which you can actually go in. We went inside but the security man told us that everyone was out to lunch because it was 1:00 so there was nothing exciting going on. But it was a beautiful building and it was sad that I could not take pictures to show y'all. After that we walked a long ways to the TATE which is the modern art museum in London. I enjoy some modern art but for the most part I don't get it. I don't understand what is so amazing about three black lines on a piece of paper...I could do that. Or when something is so abstract no one is going to understand what you are trying to portray. The great thing about art is creating something amazing that most of the world could not create. Many of the paintings looked like paintings the children I babysit for make in school. However some modern art is great like Andy Warhol. :) After the TATE we walked to Shakespeare's Globe Theater. Shakespeare himself staged many of his classic plays in the original round wooden theater there. Now a days Shakespeare plays are presented exactly as they would have been performed 400 years ago. There are no set changes, no spotlighting, and the standing only area is outside. It would be cool to go to a play there because we only got to see the outside of the theater but sadly I know I will not get around to it. I have too much to do and so little time! I can not believe I will be going home in about 4 weeks. Off to Madrid on Friday!!! Can't wait to see Christina, Mike, and Jill!
