After yesterday's frantic pace, we are moving more slowly today. Visited the Tate Modern, not our cup of tea. Some great art works, but overall too avant garde for these Belton kids. Ace Cafe for lunch. Historic biker hangout from the Mods & Rocker days for those of you who recall that era. Went to a great farmer's market near London Bridge & to the Globe Theater, a replica of Shakespeare's day. It is open air and no plays this late in season but tour was informative. Went by St Paul's Cathedral, but it is closed because of protesters nearby. There is a good bit of social unrest in UK regarding financial mess and growing inequality. Local Article noted London is a great place to be rich, but a very hard place to be poor as it is extremely expensive. Construction everywhere, much pre-Olympics preparation and many fancy high rise condos.
Hanging out in hostel this evening, too tired to boogie. Train Sunday to Scotland.
Hope all is well, would love to hear from y'all.
Say hi to the Scotties!! Also, don't forget my Toffees on the way. COYBs (stands for Come on You Blues!!!).
