Nine days later..

The London Eye baby...



Bowling... in Hyde Park... Brit style.


Henry VII in The Globe Theater. And Greek Food:


The Tower of London. And The Crucible in the Outdoor Air Theatre in Regency Park!


Westminster Abbey Boys Choir Rehearsal, and then Indian Food with Sister Hall!

Back by Popular demand. Here's 4 albums all at once.

OK. Here are four different albums. I think they grow in volume as the days go by.


I just wanna say that we went to Cambridge today. I went "punting" which is England's gondolier equivalent.

So it was the most beautiful and most fun thing we've done so far in England.

Top album: Catholic Church we heard the London Bach Choir (did the choral tracking for Robin Hood and Shrek 3 and something else) in, and some other buildings in the vicinity.

Second:
Westminster Abbey . We heard the WEstminster Abbey Choir there perform Vivaldi's "Gloria" and Handel;s "Dixit Dominus". It was pretty sweet. I thought of Pagel alot because we sang the Gloria when our choir went to Carnegie Hall. Good times.

Third:

The British Museum. Yeah. The Rosetta Stone. 'Nuff said.

Fourth:

Today at Cambridge. Keep your eye open for the video of me jumping in the water with my shirt off! That's the secret surprise track of that album. :)


I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Oxford

Went to Oxford today and yesterday. It was fun!

I bought some sweet wooden games - the mind game kinds that take FOREVER to solve and also bought the "HYMN FAKE BOOK" which I'm excited about! 1,000 hymns with the lyrics, melody and chords. SO awesome. And got a thick book of Anglican Anthems. Which is also super cool.


I love you!

Les Miz

Ok.

Where to start?

We practiced this morning for our trip to Oxford (this weekend) when all of us are going to participate in evensong. It should be sweet. My previous Choir experience came in handy when Sister Hall told me to practice with the small group that was doing Palestrina's "Exultate Deo". I sang the Alto II part with GVHS when we went to ACDA. So I was able to sing that old song again! Shout out to Madrigals 2005!!! Woot!


Ok. Then we went to buy tickets to Les Miserables at the Queen's Theater.

It was awesome. I balled my eyes out.


I sat next to these girls from Canada. They were cute, but that's not the story. the story is, that at the end of the Musical, I was crying and there was snot everywhere... so they gave me one of the tissues they were using as they were crying like little girls. That's right. i cried like a little girl.

I was so sad to see Jean Valjean die!!!

And eponine was a babe.


And it was awesome. I love you all.

That's right my fellow gangsters!

I'm a legit Brit!!!


I' saw Wicked in the Apollo Victoria last night and cried like a baby. Whaaaaaaaa!!!


It was so awesome!

I love you all.

Short Tour

A short tour of the entrance to our flats...

Never did see a better mug in front of the Big Ben bell tower or whatever it is... Did ya?!?

Ps. Random Fact #1: Contrary to popular belief, the name "Big BEn" refers to the bell inside that tower, and NOT the tower itself.

London Town

Oh Hello my little friends!

I'm new to this whole blogging thing, so let's just see how this works!
