Another fantastic day here in the UK. It was quite warm, probably up in the 70s-- warm enough for me to walk around in a t-shirt, anyway, which is pretty darn warm. Lots more walking around, but not as much getting lost. I'm starting to get the hang of things, which is hardly unexpected since tomorrow's my last day.
I went to the famous Tate Modern this afternoon, and saw some Picassos, some Jackson Pollacks, and a Monet, among other works. Even just being in the Tate was kind of crazy, it's definitely a must-see for any London trip.
I decided to take the opportunity to do some walking today since I didn't really have any time-sensitive activities until the evening. One thing about the Queen's Walk along the south bank of the Thames-- it's crowded! Especially now, I imagine; the London Marathon is in a couple of weeks, and you can't step out anywhere without seeing dozens of runners. I admire their stamina, my feet are sore from just walking!
My mom sprang for me to see a show tonight. Instead of going to The Lion King or another such show available in the States, I decided on Betty Blue Eyes, a new show about rationing in post-war Britain. It sounds pretty dry, but it had a great cast, great songs, and a funny story, totally worth seeing.
I had a bit of an adventure on the way back from the show as my underground stop was unexpectedly out of service and my hostel is off the map I carry in my purse, but I found a map at the station and successfully navigated my way back.
And now it's time for me to go to bed so I can get up and have new adventures for you all to read about :)
