Tutus, Radin and Rocks.

This past Monday night we all got dressed up and attended the Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House. The performance was a showcase for four short ballets including La Valse, Invitus Invitam, Winter Dreams and  Theme and Variations. It was a fabulous performance. I had never been to a professional Ballet before this and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so fun to get all dressed up for it.

On Tuesday night I went to the Joshua Radin concert with about 15 of the girls. Until last week I had never even heard of Joshua Radin but I started listening to his music and fell in love with him. The concert was fun but it was interesting to see a concert in London. The English don't dance...or really sing along....or appreciate you pushing yourself to the front...or when you talk. If you talked you got sushhhhhed by the crowd, that was definitely a new experience. This was his last performance in the UK before heading back to the US. One of our girls made it front and center and informed him we were from Utah. Joshua Radin gave a shout out to us Utah girls in the crowd. SO awesome!!!

Anne, Me and Lisa waiting for the show to begin.

The fabulous Joshua Radin!

For the encore he came out into the crowd. I was one person behind him. That's him in the hat.
Also, here is a picture of some of us after the concert on our steps at the centre.

On Wednesday we had a fabulous day trip. We went to the Sandham Memorial Chapel. This is memorial for WWI. Stanley Spencer is the artists for this chapel.  After this we went to JANE AUSTEN'S HOUSE!!!!!! It was so fun to see where she and her sister lived. It was the house that Jane Austen did most of the writing for her most famous novels. 

This is her writing desk.

 Our next stop was Salisbury Cathedral. This is where the oldest clock in the world is. It is a medieval clock.

 It also had the coolest baptismal font I've ever seen. This font was created in 2000. A completely modern style font in a really really old cathedral!

Stonehenge!!!! This rocks are so famous yet they are the most random things ever. 

The theory I believe: Aliens invaded the earth and left us these huge rocks.... Aliens came and all they did was place some rocks in a circle.

It was a beautiful day! We have been so blessed and have had very little rain. I hope this luck doesn't change.

That's it for now.

Cheers
