Well it is not Thanksgiving over here so we had to go back and hit the classroom today. I had three classes. And then Dasily, Lindsay, Ashley, and I all went back to Straford-upon-Avon. The train ride was about two hours in length and we saw a beautiful sunset while going there. It reminded me of the sunsets we often have in Arizona. Once we got there we wondered around Stratford again and got dinner a nice little restaurant. Dasily and I split this delicious chicken. Then we headed for the play Romeo and Juliet by the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company). It was a great production. They placed the play in 1940s so the whole time I expected them to break out into song and dance like in West Side Story. They had a really neat black and white theme for the whole production. All the costumes were in black and white and also all the lighting. After the play we ran to the train station so we wouldn’t miss our train. I found it really difficult to run despite all of my running because of the cold I had and because it was really cold outside. We made the train and headed home. It was probably the longest train ride of my life but we finally ended at Paddington Station and took a taxi home.

Wow, I don't know if I've ever taken a taxi before. How urban.
