yes. there definitely is a theme for the day, and that theme is lions! so this morning i woke up to beast hair, and it was absolutely uncontrollable. so, excuse my hair in these pictures, i have to work with what i've got. =)
so today was a perfect day. we started taking the bus to go to the tower of london. however, we quickly learned that our bus passes expired and we had to get off the bus. but because life is just so good, we stopped at an h&m. what is a girl to do? of course we had to go in... and of course we had to buy things. man, do i love that store. i got a few new clips, and some cute clothes too. i didn't get too much because it's really expensive here. i am definitely not into that. after we ruined my dad and brother's lives and h&m, we continued on our way to the tower of london. we had to take the tube (subway), and i really hated it because i thought i was going to suffocate. there are like a million people, plus it was like 90 degrees, AND underground. but we survived, and we made it to the tower of london. i was expecting a tower. NOT a castle, and it was definitely a castle. it was amazing! we went on a tour with a sassy british man that joked about killing bambi. he was quite entertaining. we also learned all about henry VIII and his 50 million wives. did you know he had one wife, had her beheaded... and married a new one in THIRTEEN DAYS!?!? uh-mazing. after we went on the tour, we saw the crown jewels. they are SO beautiful! also, amazing. i wasn't allowed to take pictures or anything, but i can tell you that every crown and every piece of jewelry since the entire history of england is beautiful. after that we saw stuff from henry VIII, like his armor. everyone is fascinated by how fat and tall he is, but his armor isn't that big. i dunno... maybe it really is and i just don't know. after we did that, we walked around the castle for a bit and took some pictures. we also walked over to the tower bridge. i think that i have been confusing this bridge with the tower of london for my whole life. it turns out that the tower bridge is cool, and the london bridge is not. i was sad, and i think fergie wouldn't be proud. the london bridge was just a road. i dunno, kinda disappointing. after the london bridge, we went to saint paul's cathedral. all of the churches here are fantastic. the ceilings are so high and detailed, and the paintings are amazing. it really is breathtaking, and i can't imagine how long it took for them to do all of that. after that we went home and got all ready for our broadway adventure...
we got to the theater, by taxi of course =), and i saw a broadway musical for the third time, the lion king! it was so good! the costumes were so detailed, and the actors were amazing. they would move just like animals, i was so impressed. i loved the song can you feel the love tonight (despite some awkwardness). nala's voice pretty much rocked.
that pretty much sums up my day! it was amazing! i am so in love with london! why do i even live in the united states??? haha
