Walking, and more walking, in London

So. Yesterday: walked a great deal. We eventually made it to the Tate Britian (via Piccadilly, the Strand and St Paul's cathedral). So very cool. There is a room with several Rothkos. Rothkos like I've never seen before -- and I'm not talking about his early paintings. Ab. So. Lute. Ly. STUNNING. There was also another Rothko that was really exquisite, too. There were really quite a number of pieces I loved, and I've written them down in my journal (I've generally been doing this when I go to museums, as you can't always get postcards of the pieces you adore). After the Tate, we walked along the Thames, and then went up in the London Eye. Expensive (£12.50, aka $25 USD), but so very, very well worth it. It was just past dusk, and it was a clear night, so it was possible to see for quite a ways. I took some cool photos. After this, we walked a little further (!!), had dinner, then went to a movie. I was glad to get home and be vertical last night...

Today: walked to the market at Portobello Road and meandered through there for a while. I was pretty tired, so my friend and I split and I went back to the flat for a nap and he went to a museum. We're meeting up in a few minutes, for dinner and possibly another movie.

As a side note: The French film 5x2 had all these amazing reviews. It was an alright film, but I just don't get the raves. I enjoy French films. The characters were both so flawed, I couldn't see why they were together in the first place, nor was there enough 'good' shown so that I could empathize with them and like them on some level (let's not forget the utter bastard Clive Owen's character was in Closer, but you still felt a draw to him).

I have no idea what film we might see tonight.

I'm starving, so it's time to see if my friend is outside now (after I write another very short post, that is...).
