April 29^th

Today I met Pierce for lunch before the two of us go see Shrek the Musical. We stopped by this Italian restaurant called Strada right near the theatre and the food was delicious. After that, we still had some time to kill so we stopped in a pub nearby to grab a few drinks. We walked about half a block to the theatre. 

Since we had balcony seats, we weren’t allowed to walk in the main entrance but rather had to go to a side door and begin what became a hike up to our seats. I kind of felt like we were second class on the Titanic. As we climbed higher, both of our noses started to bleed. Just kidding, but we actually were so high up.

The play ended up being fantastic. It was similar to the movie, but the slight differences were great. Usually when you see a musical, you don’t really enjoy the music. The songs in this play were actually pretty catchy.

When the play ended, it was around 5:30 pm and Pierce and I went our separate ways. On my way back to my apartment, the weather changed and the sun came out, so I stopped by a park and sprawled out on a bench in the sun. It was nice to finally relax for a change. In my opinion, it was a great way to conclude what I think ended up being a rather British kind of day.
