Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

This post goes out to my fish, who I named after the finest writer in English history.

So Tuesday was devoted to luggage, sleep, The Merchant of Venice, and sleep. We were on the phone for hours with baggage service people, being transfered every which way while our parents called US Airways in the US to try and make some progess.
When we weren't on the phone with baggage people, we were sleeping, like logs. We finally made some progress with the baggage issue by 5 pm, just in time for us to get ready and see Shakespeare's play at the Globe. So we went, still dreading what we would find when we got back. Luggage, or no luggage?
But the play was great! So incredible. Being a big fan of Shakespeare, I wanted to take in every moment carefully remember each detail.
I could not believe that I was sitting in the same theater where Shakespeare himself stood and where Queen Elizabeth saw plays. Wow.
The actors were amazing - their enthusiasm and vivid expression was so impressive! No microphones, pure lung to get their voice to carry through the audience.
Beats a movie any day. And the costumes were great.
We left the theatre excited and invigorated, praying that our luggage would be their when returned.
And it was!! It literally arrived the minute that we were turning the corner, walking back from our night at the Globe! Thank God!!!!
So then we had to re-pack. We packed, put out cushions on the floor, and....we get interrupted. A group of inebriated students gets back from their night out, turns on all the lights and yells for about an hour. They first were scared by the "mummies" in the kitchen, and then realized that it was only people sleeping, so they decided to be merry and have some food and drink.
So Leslie and I responded rationally, and single-handedly defenestrated all of them.

Or we just stayed their and pretended to sleep until they left. =)
Total hours of sleep last night: 2. YES!
Paris, here we come!
