Last days of the Olympics

So we had a couple of busy days so I haven't been able to update till tonight. Yesterday was our free day to do some exploring in the city. We wanted to go to Westminster Abbey, but didn't quite make it in. We were able to watch some contemporary dancing in the park there though and the smaller "chapel" next door. I think my sister would have really enjoyed it. So we went walking and ran into a Korean street band walking down the side street playing some awesome music! We can't wait to go to Korea to hear some more of their music:) Margaret. We also stop by Hamley's, which is their super toy store like FAO Schwartz in New York and since I'm just a big kid it was awesome! So after some more walking we finally get to our destination. We saw this play called Billy Elliot, which was about the strike with miner workers and boy trying to live his dream in London. Thank you Margaret for a great time:). So about the time we got back to the flat is 1AM...ouch that is late. Today was our last event, tennis. We got to see a doubles match with Bryan brothers or we think they are brothers since they look the same and have the same last name. We also got to see a singles match with Maria Kirilenko and Petra Kvitová. Unfortunately we were not able to go into Center court on court number 1. Only the lucky ones got to get in there I suppose. Or the ones that paid a lot more than we did. It was still an amazing site to just see and walk around inside of Wimbledon. That has been about it for the past two days. I'm actually at the pub right now eating our last meal in Oxford. We will get on the train tomorrow and head towards Wales for the day before we go to Dublin. I'm not sure about Internet connection there, but I hope I'll be able to continue to write to everyone. Cheers!
