"That was Wicked cool"

Today was yet another perfect day in London. Today was our last day of class so of course that was wonderful. As soon as we got out we headed over to the box office to get tickets for Wicked tonight. After we got our tickets we opted to have a leisurely lunch at a quiet little pub then head over to the Imperial War museum. The Imperial War museum was really cool. There was so much in there, I feel like it would take at least a week to see it all. We managed to see a pretty large section of the Berlin wall, the WWI trench experience, and the Holocaust walk. The Trench experience was really interesting. It was just a recreated WWI trench that had some props and models in it and effects going on around it, it felt pretty realistic to me, it was kinda damp and even smelled like mud. The Holocaust walk was awful. Not because the exhibit wasn't good... just because the subject matter. It certainly was a good thing to do though, it made the horrors of WWII become personal rather than just something you skim in a history textbook. It a couple of hours to get through, but I'm glad I did, even though it left me a little misty eyed.
It didn't take to long for our spirits to lift back up though. We did have Wicked tickets after all! The show was absolutely stunning. The set was amazing, the costumes were intricate, the singing sounded perfect to me and the acting was wonderful. It was hands down the best musical I have ever seen and definitely made for one of our best nights our in London. In the morning I leave for Scotland so no blog tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be awake enough on Saturday to get pictures up.
