Today was a relaxing day after a week full of daytrips. I
spent most of my time uploading pictures on my computer and rotating them. Also
worked on catching up with the blog (Still working on that).
In the afternoon, I walked with Aly and Jo into town. They
went to run errands and I did some sightseeing. I went to the Peterborough
museum and spent most of my time playing with all the kids’ activities and
trying on the hats and costumes of course. They had exhibitions about the first
people in Peterborough, the Romans, a section about animals in the sea and
forests, and a 1900s version of Peterborough.
After the museum I went to the Cathedral. This was a first,
I didn’t have to pay for admission but I wasn’t allowed to take pictures. Guess
you can’t have both. When I walked in, there was an orchestra practicing so
while I was looking around there was various soft and majestically loud music
that would play. At one point, I started imagining I was in some sort of movie
and the music was my soundtrack and I made up a scene with the music that was
playing. The first take, the music was super soft and sneaky soundly so I
pretended I was a spy looking for a secret artifact in a compartment in the
walls behind a statue. The second take reminded me of Hunchback of Notre Dame
when Esmeralda sings “God Help the Outcast” so I reacted that out. The last
take happened when I was approaching the Nave. The music started soft like
before but wasn’t sneaky. It was more like a prompting to go forward so I went where
others just passed by. When I turned into the Nave the music grew louder and
louder while the brass players made it powerful and the music was adding on the
breath-taking beauty of the Nave.
It was so cool having a soundtrack while looking around the cathedral.
When I exited out of the cathedral, I decided to head back
to the Conteh house.
Fun and musical tourist kind of day, haha :)
Hana the spy or actress? I con't decide which sounds more charming.
