Thats it you guys...Im living in Hampton Court. Day 7.
This morning was a tad embarassing, because my roomate and I failed to hear the wake up call and seriously over slept. I quite literally threw on a sweatshirt and shorts, didnt even undo the braid I slept in and headed out to Hampton Court. Once again, Hampton palace blew my mind! It was constructed in the "Baroque" style, meaning overly ornate...and indeed it was. We succesfully completed the maze, because of a secret we learned from one of the teachers. Im directionally challenged, so this was an accomplishment for me. I had my picture taken with actresses playing Anne Boleyn and Mary Tudor, who were quite hilarious. Apparently, I did an amusing hand gesture when I asked to take a picture with them. Mary Tudor was all like "Is that some sort of new dance? A dance while feasting? It could sweep the nation!" ( I was also eating some chocolate purchased from the gift shop). They were very witty and humorous and gave an extremely accurate representation of what banter mustve entailed in those days. We also attended Flawless at the Wimbeldon theatre which was quite a high caliber performance. The description said "ballet meets streetdancing", so I thought it showed the evolution of dance from ballet to streetdancing. However it incorporated both, in the form of the two methods competing then working together. The moral of the story line was to be yourself, it was incredibly moving, interesting, and entertaining. Today was amazing and I cannot believe the trip is going to be over soon. :( Right now we're watching the futbol game between England and Italy which is extremely important, and amazing to be apart of. Im officially living here later in life. Tomorrow its off to Greenich museum!
