Another gorgeous sunny day. We slept in and met Tara at the nearby Starbucks for coffee and a croissant, then took the tube to the Tower, and meandered across the Tower Bridge and down the Thames to the Globe. We all got tickets to the 'Taming of the Shrew', and kept walking and walking and walking....past the Tate Modern, to the Waterloo Bridge, to Piccadily and Trafalgar Square, looking for the Cafe Tara and once had tea at (near Fortnum and Mason) for tea and sandwiches without crusts and scones and cake. We stuffed ourselves with tea and nostalgia.
London was full of visitors, with all the sights packed with tourists and Olympic fever everywhere. We visited the 'Swiss house' for chocolate and accordian music, and wanted to try Brasil house but ran out of time. WE gave ourselves a short break for violin and computer time and then back we were for the play at the Globe. Tara''s boyfriend Alan joined us, and was quite a delight. The play was disturbing; was it for real or was it all irony? It was too disturbing to see as truth, so jokes and laughter worked better for the crowd. I was not so sure, and found myself uncomfortable and uncertain.
It is fun to be in London with Tara and Maya and now Alan. Our plans are to visit the Olympic park tomorrow....
