Platform 9 and 3/4

Hello all!

I am sorry to all of you who were deeply insulted that I did not post yesterday *cough*chrisharris*cough* i just don't always have something to say! I promise I'm keeping you updated whenever I have news!

So on saturday I joined my the fam (aunt uncle and cousins who I was staying with before the program started) in the east of london to see a Pantomime. Another thing I can check off of my list of traditional british things to do! They come out every holiday season and it is a funny version of a kids story with a Man always playing the main woman's character. In this case the show was Little Red Riding Hood and the Granny was played by a hilarious man. So funny. It was very exciting/cute. These shows are very audience involved so we all yelled at the people on stage. For example they'd say where did the three little pigs go!? and we would yell THE WOLF ATE THEM! hehe so fun. AND! me and my two cousins got a shout out from the cast! Their aunt (my uncles sister by marriage) is the stage manager at the theater so we got all the perks, seeing backstage and everything haha. Anyways it was good fun to be had.

Tooooodayyy we went on a Harry Potter walking tour! Very cool we say platfor 9 and 3/4. We went to a lot of the places where they shot scenes in all the movies. I like it because we got to see parts of london I may have never got to on my own. HOWEVER one of the coolest parts was the alleys that we went through and the tour guide decided we would...(this is not a joke)..."fly" through them on our "brooms". Coulda done without RUNNING trough london to try and keep up with her haha. Would have liked to actually looked at where I was....but she was a SERIOUS harry potter buff so what can you do...yeah.

Miss you all back home! come visit me! (ha)

till something else fun happens!
