Afterwards though we went to Hampstead Heath which was a park across the way. It was beautiful! There were birds, ponds and grass everywhere!
We also found the strangest thing...an outdoor swimming pool in London. Now, it is not your typical swimming pool with a diving board and slides. It looks like this:
(This is me trying to pretend to swim...just in case you were wondering! And the "things" behing me are people swimming!)We then came back in time for dinner and I realized I didn't have any plans, and it was a Friday night...in LONDON! And so I talked to a few girls and we decided (at 6:00pm) to go see "THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!"
We rushed there because it started at 7:30, they had a few tickets left, we got them at a great price and we were in our seats, ready to see the show.
It was totally awesome! I loved it! When the music came on I got so pumped and began to jam along! Gotta love London!
Keats describes many things pretty well. Here is an excerpt from an ode to sleep:
ReplyDeleteO soft embalmer of the still midnight!
Shutting, with careful fingers and benign,
Our gloom-pleas'd eyes, embower'd from the light,
Enshaded in forgetfulness divine;
Kinda fun to think about sometimes when the eyelids begin to droop after a long and tiring day. So as you drift off once more as we across the pond are still about our daily tasks, consider this an adjunct to Keats' observation as you begin the hear the music of the night:
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before
