waiting for godot
I can't believe my luck, I managed to snag tickets to the pretty-much-sold-out "Waiting for Godot" starring legends Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.
My seat, supposedly restricted, was fantastic. I was the front row of the second balcony with a clear view of the stage, no problem. Really I'm still pinching myself that I got to see the premier actors of our time performing together. An unforgettable experience.

parthenon marbles
While in London, my top priority was to visit the British Museum to see the Parthenon Marbles (also called the Elgin Marbles depending on your loyalties). I grew up hearing about how these precious pieces were taken by Lord Elgin while he was ambassador to the Ottoman Empire.
Anyone who has had a decent art history course knows why these pieces are significant both in the context of Greek/classical history and to art history in general. I was very very glad I got to see these masterpieces in person, despite the fact they were not in Greece.
