Tate Modern Crappola

One of our stops on our trip to London was the Tate Modern Museum. Some of it was really cool and we had the chance to see some famous stuff... Picasso, Warhol and a Kandinski. My friend Stelz loves her some Kandinski. We actually had a painting of his on our wall during our senior year of college. In fact, I saw that painting in person and it was hung differently than we had it, 180 degrees to the left. The funny thing is, it was a poster and had a caption beneath it, so the poster people were way off! Anyhow, Iñaki and I, at the risk of being chewed out by a guard, took a picture of it and ran, just for Lauren...

One of the cool parts of the Tate Modern was the restaurant at the top. It was 7 floors up, right on the Thames River and you could see all of London and just sit and have a juice for a minute. Here is the view, lots of construction...

We started at the top and cruised down through actually. All the museums in London are free. By the time we got to Duchamp's "Fountain", we knew it was time to go, take a look. I'm pretty sure we saw something similar at the Whitney in NY and that was our cue to get the hell outta dodge there as well.

We needed a little pick me up before leaving, so we stopped in the coffee shop downstairs for an iced latte. They didn't have an iced latte on the menu, but they did have just a regular latte. I had been doing all the talking since english is my native language and all. I went up to the guy at the counter and said, "can you make an iced latte?" He just shook his head no and I turned to iñaki and shrugged. Iñaki turned back to the guy and said, "can you make a latte and then put it in a cup of ice?" The guy's face sort of lit up and he said, "sure we can do that."... what? Isn't that what I just asked for? Hello, McFly, is anybody in there? I think Luis said it best... the fog in London does something to effect the British brain.

Sorry for the quicky, but I have to run. More to come later on.
