I apologize for not getting a post up around mid-week, when I usually mean to, but this past week has been absolutely hectic. So where to start… Probably from the beginning. On Tuesday evening we went to go see the production Jersey Boys. I preferred Jersey Boys over War Horse, which we saw two weeks ago. I simply enjoyed the stage production and effects in Jersey Boys more than I did War Horse (although they are two entirely different entities). We’ve got a short reprieve from our Tuesday evening plays/musicals next week, however, we’ve got Lion King booked for the 7th of February.
Wednesday was another full day of seeing the sights of city. We saw the Westminster Abbey as well as the War Rooms where Winston Churchill and his War Cabinet would meet during World War II. Westminster Abbey left me speechless. The sheer size of Westminster Abbey, and the structure of this massive, rising ceiling was just stunning. I was unable to take any photographs of the inside of Westminster Abbey due to the rules and regulations. But, I was able to snap a few memorable ones from right outside, and from the small cloisters as well.
The War Rooms/War Cabinet was also very fascinating as well. As we went through the exhibit, we walked the exact hallways Winston Churchill walked. It included not only a walkthrough of the War Cabinet and their responsibilities during World War II, but also a large room focusing on the entire life of Winston Churchill. It was an educational experience, to say the least. However, the feeling that I was walking the halls (Westminster Abbey included), immersed in such a deep history, was extremely gratifying. After walking through the War Rooms, I walked around St. James park for a bit – Which is one of the larger parks I’ve seen in London.
We listen to the radio. It's better than the stereo.
