The Merchant of Venice

---

I actually had time to go grocery shopping today. It was the most fun ever. Luckily there were a ton of sales so I got a lot of food. Its so nice to not have to eat the little sandwiches from the tiny grocery store next door to our flat.

Basically today we had a long day of classes. I don't know what it is about class, but after about 5 minutes I start to pass out. Anyways after class we went to see The Merchant of Venice at the Globe. In order to get to the theater you have to walk over the Millennium Bridge that crosses the Thames River. The performance was so well done. It was a really long play but still entertaining. It is an open air theater and people stand down on the ground just like a concert. It started to rain so everybody got really wet the first half of the play. Luckily I had a seat. I decided to stand for the second half which was cooler than sitting. You got to be so close to the action, definately not typical for a play.
