Day 33
Today we had talked about going to the London Temple to do baptisms, but it didn’t end up happening. Mandy and Marissa went to the river at 5am (psychos!!!) and when they got back we discussed the option, but decided against it because it would have been a big ordeal to get there and back etc. So instead we decided to go to just one more show and end our trip with a bang. We left in the afternoon and went to get tickets for the Hairspray matinee! We then ate lunch and walked around, then went to McDonald’s for McFlurries- they are a little different and of course better because they use English chocolate in them. At 3 we went to Hairspray for the second time. It was really cute because it was the first show the four of us went to together and then today it was the last. Aww. The show was good again of course. At one point I was a little disappointed though because the first time we saw it during the song “You’re Timeless to Me” we laughed so hard because Edna and Wilbur started laughing during the song and it seemed they were breaking character and it was hilarious. But then they did the same exact thing this second time with the same jokes, so it turns out it was all staged. Lame. Also inside the theatre it was so dang hot!!! The British do not generally believe in air conditioning, so packing hundreds of people into a smaller space is not the best idea without it. I was really dying, which was weird because I usually don’t get hot very easily. 
And then after the show we went on the tube which was also stifling, then went to a bathroom in a KFC which was even hotter! So by that time I was really going to drop dead any second of heat, but we sat down and rested for a while in Hyde Park, which is where we had ended up. We went to speaker’s corner to see if there was anyone exciting there, but there was only one guy having a heated conversation with two guys. We tried to listen but couldn’t really hear- as Robyn said, “All I heard was Obama, CIA . . . and the F-word a bunch of times.” Nice. We then went over to the other side of the park, well really Kensington Gardens to find a tree Robyn had seen when she was a child. It is a really old tree that has fairies carved on it and when she was little she wrote a paper about it- and her mom didn’t believe it existed, so we had to prove it to her. Then we went home and rested after a very hot and tiring day.
