When we broke for lunch, I checked e-mail and found that they had extra tickets for sale for "Rocket To The Moon" at the National Theatre! Following my brother, Jim's, advise, I am taking advantage of every opportunity and bought a ticket. Once again, I was amazed at the power of the simple. There were seven cast members and the whole play was done on one set. Of course, it was an amazing set, though it was simple. It rained out the window for much of the second half. It was so real that I overheard someone on the way out comment that they had expected to find it raining!Today we also had a meeting regarding how to travel around London, the United Kingdom, and Europe, in general. My weekends are generally already planned, but it was fun to hear how to do things for the next time I come over! In response to the meeting, I took a huge step. Drum roll, please . . . . The big accomplishment for the day: I took the bus for the first time AND I did it all by myself! Of course, it wasn't perfect as the night bus didn't stop at the same please that I left from, but I ended up someplace with which I was familiar and made it home safe and sound!
The picture below is the view from the theatre over the River Thames! The building you see is the same building that I was at the other day after I walked to the river. It is hard to not feel blessed when you come out of the theatre to this view.
