Editorial note:
I apologize for the backlog on posts here. We have limited wifi use and other technical difficulties getting photos to upload. We will update as we can. We are super busy and taking a multitude of photos! At some point we hope to get them posted, but it may not be until we're home.

On Tuesday, June 30 we visited The Glive Theatre, a recreation of the theatre Shakespeare wrote for. We toured the museum and the students took part in a Shakespeare acting workshop. While they did that, the parent explored the nearby Borough Market, buying exotic food for lunch.

In the afternoon we had a guided tour of The British Museum where we saw The Rosetta Stone, sculptures from the Parthenon in Athens, Assyrian Lyon Hunt reliefs, and much more. After that we toured The Magna Carta display at The British Library. By the way, on our first day in the UK we passed by the meadow at Runnymede where King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta 800 years ago this June.

In the evening the group dined on fish and chips before heading back to The Globe Theatre. The students and parents had the chance to see a Shakespeare play performed there much as it was in Shakespeare's day.
