Third day in London

The third day in London consisted of lots more walking which is the way to see the city. I left the hotel without any particular plan except I had to be to the Globe Theater at around noon to meet Jarlath and the Family to go to the open day.

Walking down random streets you will see a sign on the side of a building that says "Thomas Edison lived here". Huh, now that is history. Its nice that it is preserved fairly well.

I started by walking up north and ended up at St. Paul's Cathedral. There was a nice grassy area next to the cathedral so I chilled out and read a book for a while.

After that I headed over the Millennium bridge to the Tate Modern. I was standing there looking at a painting in a random room in the Tate and I was thinking "Wow, this is really good". I looked over at the info sheet and yup, Pablo Picasso. It wasn't even protected by glass or anything.

The Globe Theater was really nice. They were having a free open day and doing all sorts of demonstrations. My favorite one was the demonstration of female sword fighting.

Now it is a week of work. But each day will be a new adventure of traveling through the city.
