First thing, we had an early lunch at Roka. Sushi, some grilled meats and a tasty beer for Leslie. Then we went to Selfridges to stock up for another picnic dinner. Selfridges is an entire city block and is basically credited as being the first department store ever. Of course we found fine teas and all kinds of crazy things to look through. One of the places we found was a caviar bar. Leslie had fine champagne and we shared the "Love" flight of very tasty caviar. We also bought Ox tongue, wild boar sausage and Black Forest ham to make sandwiches . Then we went off to the Open Air Theatre which is in Regent's Park. It is the largest theater in London. They were presenting the Midsummer's Night Dream from Shakespeare. We loved this great production. We were unable to take photos during the production but the layout was very very interesting and we enjoyed the entire thing. The costumes of the fairies was particularly strange. They were all in black, wore industrial stilts and had spikes for hair. The walk down to the park was 1.3 miles. However the walk back was over 1.5 miles because the entry we used was closed. We had to walk around via the road to get back. It was close to midnight when we arrived back at the residences and the doorman actually had the door locked. He had to unlock it to let us in.

Row E
E is for eye level
The seats are filling in
Looking all around
Soon to be filled with faeries sprites and spirits
It was very physical for the actors. Lots if running about and gesturing
All part of the performance
