London: Wednesday

Wednesday was a pretty big day.

Anna and I started with afternoon tea at a hotel, which was delicious. There was sooo much food (little sandwiches and scones!) and it was the first time that I had ever had clotted cream, which is delicious. You can see how we devoured all of the food in the picture below.

Then later that night we bought really cheap tickets to Hairspray (like 23 pounds) and they were for the front row! The below are pictures of Anna looking shocked and amazed that we're sitting so close to the stage.


The show was really great though sometimes the actors' British accents slipped through which Anna and I found thoroughly amusing. Also, the girls sitting next to me had somehow memorized literally every dance move and proceeded to dance along to the best of their ability in the seats for the entire show. I thought it was cute, Anna was super annoyed (good thing she wasn't sitting next to them). Also during the number with the two parents (if you're unfamiliar with the show, the main character's mom is always played by a guy for some reason), the two actors couldn't control themselves and kept cracking up while they were singing, it was hysterical (though probably not very professional)

Blurry picture of the theater, which was soooo unbelievably close to Anna's flat.
How close, you ask? Well, I took this picture standing in her doorway without any zoom. It's the bluish and white building and was less than a block away.
