Ani: On day two we went to the Tate Modern. I really wanted to show Ali this piece I liked by Marislav Balka, but it had already left. We just ambled around the galleries and took pictures of interesting things. Some of the stuff was inspiring, but a lot of it just made you go, "What..."
Then we went to Oxford Circus and Ali got shoes. But I am really picky and didn't get anything. After that we went to have dinner in Hyde Park and we could hear Paul McCartney's concert going on. This was definitely a highlight of the day, to hear him singing live, even though we couldn't actually see the concert.
The raspberries were really nice but the vendor who sold them to us was weird.
At the end of the day, we were pretty tired. We did a lot of walking.
Ali:Day two I felt like a real tourist. At the Tate Modern I gained a better appreciation for abstract art,,it's mostly the process, not the product you have to admire. Though of course the works that actually looked like something were my favorites epecially the paintng I dubbed "lascivious ham" (see above). Oxford Circus has all the shops and being girls, we spent quite a bit too much time perusing the selections without actually buying anything. The best part of the day was just sitting on the grass: outside Tate, eating lunch and then in Hyde Park, listening to Paul McCartney while dozing off.
