Is this real life?

That question was asked may times today. THE WEATHER WAS GORGEOUS TODAY!! It was sunny and cool and not rainy!! I slept in until about 10. After a shower, I got myself ready for the day and headed out with a group that was looking to get tickets for a show tonight. We headed up to Westfield where they have a discounted ticket seller. She offered us tickets for WICKED for £18! We jumped on that deal and took the tube down to Westminster. We got off near Parliament and began walking up to Trafalgar Square and then up to Leicester Square and around Piccadilly Circus. On the way, we stopped at the 4 story M&M store where I discovered CRISPY M&MS!! Why they aren't still available in the States, I have no idea. But I bought half a bag of crispy M&Ms. There is a photo of me enjoying them on Facebook. While we were walking around, a NAKED BIKE RALLY rode by us. That's right. Naked people riding bikes down the street. And not attractive naked people.

Since our show was at 7:30, we stopped for dinner around 5 at this pub called The Brewmaster in Leicester Square. I got a Rump Steak Sandwich and it was awesome. We walked by this pastry shop after dinner and everything looked amazing and sweet. I may need to go back. On our way to the theater, we walked through St. James Park and we witnessed an ATTEMPTED ROBBERY outside a restaurant. We heard a waiter yelling and running after these two guys who were running with a Louis Vuitton purse. They dropped the purse and kept running. We're not sure if they got anything, but the waiter picked up the purse and brought it back to the owner. We got to the Apollo Victoria just as doors were opening and found our seats. We sat in literally the second to last row in the upper level. We were on level with the Time Dragon. The actors were very small, but we had speakers right near us so we could hear everything well. Once the show started, I didn't care where we were sitting because I was seeing Wicked in West End. Our cast was amazing. I think this guy was the best Fiyero I've seen. Our Wizard wasn't very good at singing, but he's a relatively minor singing role. After the show, we got right on the tube and headed home. Our car was packed, so when this really attractive guy got on his only standing option was right behind me. I was more than okay with this situation. Too bad he wasn't talkative.

Now I'm back at Camp chilling in the Rec Tent and updating my social media life.
Cheers!
