Day 7 London

Today consisted of souvenir shopping, The British Museum, and a musical called Once at the Phoenix Theater.

The British Museum was huge, we didn't get to see everything, but what we did see was amazing. Most of the famous painters were there, and we got to see lots of Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Assyrian, and European things. I was sad that we didn't get to see everything but I'm sure I will get to go again.

At 7:30 the show began, it was about and Irish man giving up on love and music and a Czech woman who brings that back to life. I'm not too big on musicals but this one had the Irish folk style which I love!  I had a great time and would definitely see it again if I could!
