More London, England

10/01/09 - 10/05/09

Ben's family and I went to a play at Shakespeare's Globe Theater. It's so cool - it's an exact replica on pretty much the same spot that Shakespeare would have his plays performed. Or something like that.











The show wasn't Shakespeare, though (fine with me - that gave me more of a chance to actually understand it.) It was a new play about Thomas Paine and the American Revolution. Now I know how painful it must be for Brits to hear American actors fake English accents...their American accents were awful. To top it off, about halfway through Ben and I both realized why the guy playing Thomas Jefferson sounded so familiar...he was imitating Will Ferrel doing George Bush! Somehow that just seemed blasphemous.

Ben's mom, sister and I also wandering around Chinatown while Ben was at a soccer game.
On my afternoon to myself I found the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum...awesome!! There was a wonderful "History of Medicine" exhibit. Here are some old enema tools: and doesn't this look like I was really in an OR?
