It's the first time ever that I haven't been home for my birthday, so it didn't totally feel like my birthday, but it was a great day! We went to Epsom Downs for the Epsom Derby. The horses were really cool and highly entertaining. We were fairly close to the finishing line, so as they run past you, everyone starts yelling and cheering for the horse they want to win. The top hats and coat tails all the men had on and the hats and fascinators the women had on were fun to look at, and I took lots of pictures. Then Mom and I went to dinner with Malcolm and Leslie (some family friends) at this really good Italian restaurant before we went to Wicked. We've gotten really used to the "tube." Anyway, Wicked was AMAZING. If you have a few minutes, Google Rachel Tucker Defying Gravity. You can skip to the last couple minutes cuz that part is the best. She has an absolutely incredible voice and was found on one of those British talent reality TV shows in 2008. Crazy. We have to wake up early to meet Aunt Sally for the Flotilla. There are Union Jacks EVERYWHERE! Hundreds of them on each street! Especially at Covent Garden. We had dinner there with Aunt Alison and Uncle Steve yesterday. Alison came to meet us in London earlier in the day, and Steve met us for dinner. There's also a sorority sister doing an internship this summer in London, so she met up with us yesterday, too, and it was fun to hang out with her. We are absolutely worn out and have sore feet from all the walking, so it will be nice to have a quiet day at Sally's on Monday.
