DAY SIX & SEVEN:

Saturaday after the archives and our "Behind the Scenes" Tour, we headed out in the rain to Leicester Square again to try get in to see Mary Poppins. We couldn't get in there, but we desided to book tickets for Monday instead. We then desided to try our luck at getting into Les Miserables. Most of the tickets were gone, but then the ticket sales guy said if we could show proof of Student ID's then we could get the 54 pound seats for 20! We did, and then show was AMAZING! Jeanval Jean was great, and so was Fontine and Eponine. I LOVE the music. I remember singing it in Choir. May favorite songs would have to be "I dreamed a dream" and all the character versions of "On my Own" and "God on High".

Oh highlight, ordering MacDonalds in a pirate voice on a bet with a cute tatooed English boy - I did it and he paid for my Md Flurry! :)

Today, we all 11 of us, took the train to Cambride. It was an hour away and we took the Cab to church from the Station. It was 6 pounds for like a 5 minute ride, but luckily we could share the fare 4 ways.



After church we walked around (in the rain again!) the different colleges and took pictures, and Dr. Doxey told us the history behind the place from her knowledge of when she did her Masters there. We went to Key College Chapel and we went to Evensong at Kings College.
Afterward we went to her friends home for dinner. It was a great day.
Highlight: Met some great people- Witty William the historian/missionary/racing driver Brit from Ireland, and Rebecca the Chemist, and three South Africans one of which was Dean Cunningham (Mark Cunninghams brother).
