Friday - July 20, 2007

Very gray day. Had $100 breakfast at the hotel (note to selves: don't eat in the hotel!). Decided to go to the Tate Modern. Took the tube, walked over the Millennium bridge in light rain. They had a great exhibit on cities around the world. Very interesting, Rïck loved it. Saw art exhibits and a Dali exhibit on the upper floors. Had lunch at the top floor restaurant where we watched it POUR outside (or "tip buckets" as the English say).
      • Dark and gray
      • Millenium (Wibbly Wobbly) Bridge

      After lunch the weather started to break. We took the tube for some shopping to some of our favorite stores: Expectations and Regulation. Randy got a hair cut. Headed back to hotel, dropped camera and clothes, walked to Old Compton Street (London's "Castro") for a snack (Balans) and a drink (Comptons). Back to hotel for a nap.

      • Tate Modern Turbine Hall

      Had tapas around the corner from the hotel. Walked down Old Compton Street to a bar named "Rupert Street" for a drink. Met some fun English and Australian guys and chit chatted with them for a while. Headed to the club G.A.Y. for some dancing. The music was very pop-y, didn't stay long. Back to the hotel and bed.
