TODAY we started at the National Portrait Gallery, a smaller gallery just next to the National Gallery at Trafalgar Square. I caught my first real glimpse of Big Ben today and fell totally in love.... its SO gorgeous. I haven't been able to get up close yet, but SOON!
The two national galleries were incredible, as expected. I saw some really great pieces that I adore... the Ambassadors, the Virgin on the Rocks, and Venus and Mars. We bought audio tours for the National Gallery, which was actually worth every penny. Go figure.
A few of us bought half priced tickets to Wicked tonight, which I can't wait for! I am sooo excited, I love theatre and I have wanted to see Wicked for a long time. After that, we are going to Soho to find a dance club... or two. Or three? Open all night! Take that, Nebraska. Also, we stumbled into one of the world's most popular clubs, Heaven, while we were looking for Kate Moss's TopShop. So whether that happens tonight or anytime before Monday... its happening. When in Rome :)
OOHHH before I forget, I had my first dose of fish and chips at a bar just near Leicester Square, A Moon Under the Stars. It was AMAZING, a really fabulous and decently priced little bar and grille. Fish and chips and a pint of Strowbridge beer. Check please.

Ummmm, actually, you need to back down on the club thing and a) get more rest by going to bed early, and b) study them books more---can't you find a really nice, old, historic library somewhere? Isn't this supposed to be a school trip??! Granted, you'll need to have some fish and chips and a pint every now and then, BUT, all things in moderation my deary! Continue to have fun and keep them blog updates coming! Finally, I must admit I am a bit jealous at this point as it does bring back memories and sounds like fun. Be cool, be safe,LYL, the dadster
OH HOW FUN! SOAK UP EVERY MINUTE OF IT. BE SAFE, BE HAPPY AND GET ENOUGH SLEEP! I WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT WICKED>>IT IS COMING TO OMAHA NEXT SPRING! LOVE-MOMMA

Lots of storms and tornadoes through the area last night. We are all ok but some kids at a Boy Scout camp north of here were not so lucky. Say a prayer. Looking forward to your next entry. Mom
