Final day in London

On my last full day in London, I walked around the city:

saw the Old Vic:

walked across the Thames on a bridge with the Eye of London always in sight:

I went to the Tate Modern, of course, and spent two long sessions sitting with Rothko's paintings. Then I went to Trafalgar Square to check on the pigeons. When I was in London with Tamar and Aaron, watching the pigeons was great entertainment for them. The day before, on Saturday when I was there, the pigeons had been scared off by a falcon on the shoulders of a woman. She patrols the area frequently to keep the pigeons at bay. But when the falcon is gone the pigeons return:

On this Sunday, the entertainment was dancers from Vietnam:

Then I went to the Royal Academy of Art for their annual exhibit. Took the Tube back to my friend's for the evening:

And Monday was the long trip home. Tuesday I picked up Lila. And here I am. Happy to be back at work!
