Zoos, Cathedrals, and Pirates Too!

So that last couple of days have been a little more relaxed then most. We went to the London Zoo and saw their large variety of animals to learn that they have even more about 4 miles away. Giraffes, monkeys, and hippos, but no zebras...Stuart says that they were sick or dead or something since they were not there. We also saw St. Paul's Cathedral which of course is absolutely magnificent, but on the downside...no pictures inside. I'm really starting to regret not buying that camera watch from Dublin. We walked around several floors of Tate Modern which is a Modern Art museum across the pedestrian Millennium Bridge, or the Wibbly Wobbly bridge as some call it. When the Millennium Bridge was first opened it was closed the same day because it started to shake and shift, they then reinforced it and opened it up again. Anyways, Tate Modern was very interesting in some parts and hilarious in others. We could see the craftsmanship in a lot of pieces, but some of them were simply people throwing pain at canvases. And while I totally get emotional art some of it just looked silly.With our London Passes we actually get free movie tickets so we went and saw the new Pirates movie at the Chelsea Curzon which is a luxurious theater with an open bar and everything. We almost had some rum to watch Jack Sparrow be awesome but decided to stick to ice cream during a movie instead. Oh and for those of you back home...you haven't seen a real 3D movie yet hehe. The quality of the picture was amazing, and even though we had ridiculous glasses on it was well worth it! Spending some more time down in Picadilly Circus we wondered about just laughing and enjoying London which was well needed.  We have been pounding the pavement so hard the last week that we were starting to get tired in every facet of being. Well we are off today to really delve into London one more time before we head off to Italy!

Peace, love, and a free brownie to all!
