Today was so nice and relaxing. Julia and I got back to the flat from Scotland at around midnight and we were so exhausted, so we allowed ourselves a day to sleep in. We got up around 10 am and did our final run to Hyde Park. It was such a beautiful day. The first time I've seen blue sky in London. And I loved every second of it. We took our time making sure to run past the things we hadn't seen yet. I think we've covered that park entirely. Things go a lot faster when you run everywhere. I think I'm going to try that the next time I come to Europe. I'll probably see tons of stuff. Ha ha jk that would be so tiring. Anyway, in the park we ran into Allie and Erica. We stopped and walked some witht hem and then we all ran back to the flats together. I can't believe this trip is over. It went by so fast! I'm going to miss all of these people so much.
Anyway, after running Julia and I showered and got ready for the day. I had to get some last minute gifts for the fam so we headed back to Portobelo Road because all of the stuff there is extremely inexpensive. I found way too much stuff that I liked and purchased way too much that's for sure. Ha ha i'm such a shopper! I did so well this trip to not be, but I gave in while we've been in London. Ugh oh well. The stuff is super cute! and I think my family will really like it.
After Portobelo we went to Queensway to try some Lebanese food that Julia's sister said was a must. We grabbed it and then headed to a park to eat. We soon discovered that the park was the one and only Hyde Park that we had been running through. Ha ha. So we decided to walk home through the park and take things at a slower pace. It really is so beautiful. We're not able to enjoy everything so much when we're running. It was nice to take it slow. We even stopped and sketched some of the scenery.
We got home at around 4:30 and both fell asleep! We were so exhausted from the weekend in Scotland. Ashley woke me up around 5:30 because we had to head out to th Globe Theatre! She and I saw the comedy 'As You Like It'. We got to the theatre at about 6 and there was already a long line out front. We had purchases standing tickets because they were only 5 pounds, and it's all part of the experience to be a peasant. Anyway, we stood in line until they let us in at about seven. We were able to get second row right up next to the stage. And it was so amazing! The theatre itself is beautiful and so cool. A genius design. Having the stage circular there is never a spot that you can not see. The play itself was unbelieveable. It was so funny! I was laughing the whole time. I was also surprised too that I actually understood what was going on, because Shakespeare can be a little tricky at times. He was a complete genius though, I will give him that. I thought I was going to hate standing but I really didn't even mind it. My lower back got a little tired, but I really enjoyed being so close to the stage. We got back to the flat at around 10:30 and I packed a little so that I would know about how much stuff I had! I ended up having a lot more than I thought I would so I'm definitely going to have to purchase a duffel tomorrow just to get everything home.
I am so sad that this trip is ending! Tomorrow is the last day, and then it's back to reality.
