Things Here and There

Last night after Jersey Boys we walked back to Schiller. On the way we picked up some pizza. While we were waiting for the pizza, we sat in the small restaurant. All of a sudden, while we were talking, the dude behind the counter (not British- my guess is non-oriental asian) puts on aviators and looks at us. We're just like, "Cool, dude" and "Lookin' good". So we talk a little to him, about us being American and how we have different accents than the British. And then he's like, "You're very nice. Especially her" and he points to Mal. lol. We all busted out laughing (not in a mean way) and we're like, "It's her birthday in an hour". Good times.

Of course, at midnight, we sang happy birthday to Mal.

This morning we got up to meet Dr. Sharon at the London Eye so we could go on a Walking Tour of Shakespeare's London. Basically we went to a couple different points and the guide explained to us the changes that have happened since Shakespeare's time. Come to find out, we're not actually staying in London, but Westminster. London is actually Northeast of here. Granted, now it's all one big city, but it used to be separated.

Anyway, we saw a bunch of cool stuff like Big Ben, the New Globe, the Old Globe Site, Rose Theater (The first theater in London), the market (with a great fish and chips place. Definately going back to get some sometime) and more.

The New Globe Theatre:

The Clink (a Medieval Prison and yes, that crate's where they put people after they hanged them):

So today has been eventful thus far, and it's only half over. I am off to take a nap, then we are going out to celebrate Mal's birthday! Woot! And Dr. Sharon's coming too!!!
