On Wednesday my Theatre class took a coach to London to see a performance called Fuerzabruta! IT WAS AMAZING!!! Seriously I have never been to such an incredible show. At the start of the show you are led into the theatre which is just an open space on the main level and from there the show starts, there are musicians drumming, singing, and dancing all while areialist are swinging above you. The show mainly happens above you or amongst you in the crowd, all while the staff moves you around . I can't even explain how awesome it was... Just see it if you ever have the chance.
We also visited the Victoria and Albert museum so that was awesome.
On Friday I spent the day with my host family. The open markets in Stamford with my host father, Richard in the morning. Met Dr. Xanthe Wells, their daughter for coffee and a walk around the Rutland reservoir with her collie sheep dog, chase! Then for a late lunch we went to a place Richard and Ernistine like to eat, The Black Horse Inn where I finally had STEAK PIE!!! I also didn't have much of a choice "young ladies need to eat red meet so you must order red meat" .. thanks mom
Long story short it was just as good as James and Sharon had told me before so now thats all I can think about ugh steak pie so good.
Other than that I went out into Grantham yesterday to figured out the Royal Mail system and to have a bite to eat at a local organic deli, and then back out last night with a small group of friends which was fun! On the way home our taxi got pulled over for being over capacity ..not our fault.. the police were extremely nice, but insisted that one of the girls ride with them to the manor. Apparently asking about Kool aide on the way.. haha weird. The manor drive is full of cameras so we had a little explaining to do when the security guard saw us pulling up with the police oopsie.. at least we weren't in trouble
Well on to this week! I am looking forward to getting a package or two that didn't arrive last week! Also I have a British Studies quiz Monday and our first exam Wednesday! So think of me while I over load on British studies this week. As a reward its our first "long weekend" so we don't have class Thursday or Friday which means we are going to IRELANDDDDD (maybe)!!!! Seriously can't wait
