The great thing about traveling by yourself is that you can stop and spend as much or as little time at places that interest you. After sitting at Leicester Square, I wandered around London's West End visiting a bunch of different theatres and streets that I had heard of before. Most of these theatres/streets were ones that I had learned about during my Theatre History classes at Queen's. It was fascinating to walk around on these streets that I had once studied in a text book and have so much theatrical history! This exploration of the theatrical world brought me of course to Covent Garden. I loved this place. Covent Garden is about a block big and the streets are filled with buskers. Not just buskers though, but really, really talented performers. These buskers had huge audiences and used microphones and amps to have their music heard. Really cool. It then began to rain. (i spose it had to happen sometime....I am in England after all). So, I went inside the Covent Garden pavillion (in the pic). Posted by Hello
