Allyson and I got to sleep in today – sort of. Our entire dorm woke up around 8am and was ridiculously loud, turning on lights, yelling, and screaming. It was very rude, because both Ally and I were trying to sleep. Everyone else was going on the country walk. We didn’t care to, because there are so many things in London that we still want to see and do. Haha well first thing in the morning we did – laundry. Fun, I know! We got ready and then went to a pub for lunch. I got fish and chips, and Ally got a chicken and leek pie. She is convinced she must try British food, although whenever she does, she doesn’t like it at all. It is pretty funny. After lunch, we went to the National Portrait Gallery. It houses portraits of historically important and famous British people. The upper floors were filled with paintings of historic figures and royalty. The bottom floor was my favorite, and had paintings as well as photos of more modern figures and famous people. There was an awesome exhibit on Twiggy.
After the museum, we walked to Leicester Square and looked for the Shaftsbury Theatre, where Hairspray is playing. We were going to see it tonight, but the girls we were going to see it with decided to go on Thursday instead. Oh well. I am still looking forward to it.
Allyson and I went and saw Alice in Wonderland tonight! I love Johnny Depp! I really liked the movie. Although, it was much less mad and much more sad than I was expecting. I really felt sad for the Mad Hatter when Alice left him. I wanted to give him a hug… but that may have been also because he was Johnny Depp. ;) But I did feel sad for him. I really liked Helena Bonham Carter’s performance as the Red Queen. She was awesome! So funny! And I thought that Mia Wasikowska did a wonderful job as Alice. I thought she was very pretty. I wasn’t a big fan of Anne Hathaway’s performance though. I felt she was too airy and aloof. Overall, I really did enjoy the film. Yay Johnny Depp!
