Wasn't able to get tickets to Othello yesterday, woes. However, I did procure a groundling ticket for one of the two shows this week at the Globe with tickets remaining, the Merchant of Venice on Thursday evening. :D

For those uninitiated in Shakespearean dramatic lingo, "groundling" means "standing like a peasant." D:

Saw quite a bit of Southwark yesterday...like the Clink Museum, the prison from where we get the slang term (it was owned by the Bishop of Winchester), and the replica of the Golden Hind. I also went to Southwark Cathedral, just expecting a nice church and certainly not prepared to pay a 2-pound fee just to take pictures. After less than five minutes in the church, though, I was toddling back to the gift shop to get one, because Southwark Cathedral is where John Gower was buried, in a rather elaborate and colorful tomb. Fortuitous. :D

The rest of the church is really pretty too.

Now, however, it's off to Canterbury for me. Ciao for now!
