second email

     I received my second email today! It includes some exciting new details about our trip! I am so excited. It's crazy thinking that I won't be leaving for five months. It feels so far away, but I know that it will just fly by. (Doesn't life always?) Here is the fun news I received in this latest email:
    "By now, you've probably heard that you're accepted to the London Summer Program. Congratulations! We have just finished booking three nights in Edinburgh during the world-famous Edinburgh Festival, and we will have group tickets to the Tattoo, an event so strange and beautiful that you will just have to see it for yourself. We also just booked seats to do something I have never done before: see the London Symphony Orchestra inside St Paul's Cathedral. The National Theatre just announced its summer shows, and I will be getting us tickets to The Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. We'll also benefit from lots of the UK's finest artists crowding into London during the Olympics. For example, the most inventive Shakespearean actor of his generation, Mark Rylance, is coming back to the Globe Theatre (He now works mostly in New York) to do Richard III. We have tickets for you. We'll also be seeing "12th Night" when we visit Shakespeare's birthplace in Straford-Upon-Avon."
     How amazing is that? My dad will be so jealous that I will be going to Edinburgh. He went to Scotland on his mission, and has talked about wanting to return. Things keep getting better and better it feels like.    They also said in the email to be on the lookout for things to do in London while we are there. If anyone has heard of anything that we should check out, let me know!
