Carnaby Street


Last weekend, Darrel and I did a little more exploring and we came across this in Soho.  After we saw the sign welcoming us to Carnaby Street, we both thought we had heard of it before but couldn't really put our fingers on it.  I proceeded to look it up in Wikipedia, and found out that Carnaby Street is the place where the original "mod" fashion movement started back in the early sixties.  It's a really fascinating part of town and would've been brilliant to see back in the day.



Also last weekend, we were able to go and see the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and our friend Erik perform Carmina Burana at the Royal Albert Hall.  For this performance, the Royal Philharmonic was joined by 3 choirs, which included a youth choir.  I have always loved Carmina Burana and it was quite amazing to be able to see it performed live in the Royal Albert Hall.
