first we woke up way too early to get pictures on abbey road like the beatles album! it was funny because we got lost, and after walking for an hour we found out we had actually passed right by it! classic.
there is a wall right by the crosswalk that everyone signs! ours said, "all you need is love"
afterwards we went all around town looking for breakfast, but apparently london doesn't wake up till 9 on saturdays... not even starbucks? what?
did you think my day was over?? not even close.
in the afternoon, Katelin-Jane and I met up with Emma in Covent Garden. we went to the Royal Ballet's performance of Cinderella at the Royal Opera House. it was absolutely epic. i felt like i was in my own fairytale inside the disney castle. there was glitter EVERYWHERE, costumes to die for, unbelievable dancing, and the most amazing orchestra pit i've ever heard. and, thanks to ruperts amazing mom Anabel, we were on the third row!!! the two evil step daughters were played by men and it was absolutely hilarious.
i can't even put into words how beautiful this opera house is, and how much i loved sitting in it to watch the best ballet of my life.
we ate dinner right near the opera house at a french restaurant called Cafe Mes Amis. for the first time in my life i tried both halibut and mussels. as if the day couldn't be any more perfect, the food was just to die for.
i rushed over to barbican theater to meet up with some girls from the center to see the play Peter Pan. i loved it. it was a scottish interpretation of the story, and just having been to scotland it made it so much fun! the scenery was insane and tinkerbell was a ball of fire that they managed to trek all over the place. i honestly never figured it out the entire play. captain hook wore a kilt, peter pan had red hair, and bag pipes were involved.. it doesn't get much better than that!
today was perfect.
