January 8th 2014- The Tower of London and "Drawing the Line"

I really liked visiting the Tower of London.  I especially liked the way the museums were set up.  The history of the monarchy was particularly interesting.

"Drawing the Line" was my second favorite show of the trip.  I sat in the front row and really was able to see the subtle and incredible acting done by everyone in the production.

The issue of understanding different sides of an issue is very relevant today.  In today's society with politics and religion a lot of people see issues as black and white.  Especially in the United States.  We are given a very ethnocentric view of world events.  I appreciated the idea that everyone is trying to do the right thing.  Everyone has pressure on them.  I think problems would be more easily understood if people were able to see things from another side's point of view. I never was much of a history buff and I honestly did not know much about this point in history. But this play kept me super interested in the story. I also loved that the show ended with the line between India and Pakistan in the backdrop in flames.  That was a perfect way to end the play.
