However, I didn&#8217;t know much about the history of theatres before coming on this trip. Not only have I seen some of the most famous theatres in London but have also seen some incredible shows.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Crucible<\/em> was absolutely amazing and I found myself falling in love with the tragedy of the story even though I had never read it before. We&#8217;ve also seen a concert and another show called\u00a0<em>Wonderland\u00a0<\/em>when we first got here. If the rest of the shows on our schedule are anywhere near as good as these (which I&#8217;m sure they are) I can&#8217;t wait to see them.<\/p>\n<p>This morning we went to the V&amp;A Museum and got to look at different fashions from the last few centuries. It was so incredible to see how women&#8217;s dress has changed in the last 150 years and just how far London has come since then. After that we went to St. Paul&#8217;s Cathedral which is absolutely BREATH TAKING. I&#8217;ve never seen such incredible views both inside and outside of a church. We walked up about 600 steps to reach the very top and see an amazing view of London. It was worth the workout! This trip has honestly been the trip of a lifetime!!<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-186\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-187\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image1-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-188\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image2-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/08\/image2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always enjoyed going to plays and musicals when I was younger, and was even in a few as a young high school student.
