View walking to the parade
I woke up early this morning to go to the Queen's Parade being held for her 87th birthday. Her actual birthday is sometime in April but it's too cold then so she prefers to celebrate in June. It was a really fun experience and I got to see and take pictures of Prince Harry, Princess Kate, and the Queen. Prince William was riding a horse and I couldn't tell which one was him! Unfortunately, the Queen was in a covered buggy because it was a little bit chilly this morning but I still got to see her wave.
Harry & Kate
The Queen
Afterwards we went to Shakespeare's Globe theatre to see A Midsummer Night's Dream. The theatre is located along the South bank and it is soooo beautiful with cobblestone streets and stone pubs everywhere. The play itself was amazing. I've never read or seen it before and I was surprised at how funny it was! Unfortunately it was pouring down rain and SO cold. Because it's the Globe, we were standing the whole time under an open sky and weren't allowed umbrellas. So I bought a lovely poncho for two pounds and stood there miserably the whole time.
Afterwards I was cold, hungry, and tired so I went back to the residence Hall where I then proceeded to put on my pajamas and fall asleep for two hours.. it was only 7 pm.
I'm craazzyyy let me tell you.
Tomorrow we're taking a bus out to Windsor Castle! Super Excited.
