May 14th- National Gallery + The Globe theatre

Today we went to the National Gallery. This was by far my favorite exhibit that we have seen so far! Wow! I got to see Rembrandt's Self Portrait, Turner's Fighting Temeraire, Jan Van Eyck's Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his wife, among many others! It was an amazing experience to see all of these paintings in person. I always wish I could stay in those galleries for days at a time, but there's not enough time!

After I looked through all of the paintings I went to get some lunch. Sheree and Nikki had gone to get some cupcakes at another store because I said I wanted to stay longer to look at paintings. They met me in the National Gallery Cafe where I was eating a sandwich and tea. After I ate my sandwich a British man that worked there came up to us and said "I'm sorry, but you have to leave. I'll give you a refund." Literally picked up my tea and took it away from me and kicked us out of the National Gallery Cafe! All because they had cupcakes from another place. These British people are very blunt. Haha.

After the National Gallery the photo students all went to Man Ray's gallery. We all went home after that, changed, and then went to the Globe theater! We got in on the ground standing in the very front right by the stage. It was so much fun to see how Shakespeare would have really put on his plays. It was pouring that night as well, so most of the group left early and warmed up and slept. I don't have photos for this day! Since it either wasn't allowed in the museums or pouring outside. Good day :) Cheers.
