South of the River
Yesterday was beautiful here, finally felt like summer, until it got dark, then the rain started (see previous post - that was us after walking home in the rain from dinner).We took Dave and Lisa to Borough Market, one of our favorite places here. We sampled cheese, truffle oil, beer, etc. From there we went to the Tate Modern. It was our first time there, and we barely scratched the surface. We saw an amazing exhibit called Global Cities. It was a great space, and great exhibit. Afterwards we headed up to the 7th floor of the museum to relax in their bar/restaurant and enjoy the view overlooking the Thames.
On the walk back along the Thames we happened upon the Insect Circus Traveling Museum. Dave convinced us all to check it out - only after telling us it was free. We waited in line to enter the museum, expecting to see live insects doing "circus" things. We were all a little disappointed with what was inside, fake insects doing "circus" things. I don't know how we were really expecting to see insects preforming tricks, but we were all fooled. I felt bad for the little kids inline behind us.
