London: Day 5 (December 28)

We went to the HUGE Whole Foods for breakfast. I took this picture of Mom and Dad near the produce section and a woman walked over and asked me to put my camera away. Then we continued to look around the store and there was another employee following me, talking on his walkie-talkie, making sure I wasn't taking any more photos. A little annoying, but whatever.

We went over to the TATE Modern Museum afterwards. There is a great collection of surrealism and cubism art. After viewing some of the galleries, Anthony and I sat outside, drank coffee, and befriended these cute little British kids. There was a girl and a boy who were chasing the pigeons around to make them fly. It was the cutest thing ever! Then we went over to Piccadilly and looked at some of the shops. Afterwards we went to Buckingham Palace and, by chance, saw an informal changing of the guards. It's a beautiful palace but, if I were the Queen, I wouldn't like hundreds of tourists gallivanting in my front yard.






We went over to the theatre district and ate dinner at an Indian restaurant. We saw The History Boys, which was great! It's a newer play (2005) which received six Tony Awards. I had heard about it before but I didn't really know what it was about. It's about boys at a grammar school preparing for the Oxbridge examination. I thought the main guy did a really nice job.

Sadly, this concludes our London trip. But stay tuned for Paris. We just got in today and we are all looking forward to spending some time in this beautiful city. Tomorrow I will write about our first day, because I am exhausted. It's about 1:45 am here! Goodnight!
