Still here
June 17th, 2005
London is simply filled with iconic vistas. This was taken casually as I passed through the Circus, headed from Regent Street to Tottenham Court Road.

Whew, another week has gone by, still at a steady clip, I must say.
Highlights? On Monday I saw the West End production of Chicago with Brooke Shields starring as Roxie Hart. That was an *excellent* show. So fun to watch, so much raw energy, pure physicality and unmistakable heart. Really makes me want to see the movie again.
And on Thursday night I went to the Royal Albert Hall to see the National Ballet’s opening night production of Romeo and Juliet. So beautiful, both the gorgeous building (just past a whole slew of breathtaking buildings including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Science Museum and the Imperial College of London), and the dancing itself. Such a sad story though. Again, makes me want to re-watch the movie. (haha)
Taken during the first intermission of Romeo and Juliet. The building is really stunning – the picture doesn’t do it justice at all to the scale and ornamentation. And then the exterior facade is something else altogether.
