We started our journey at 10am, we headed to the Queens Walk. Of course, St. Cyr needed his Starbucks before we got to the Tube.
While waiting for Chris, we saw the interesting British taxis.
We arrived on the west side of the walk, which gave us time to explore before getting to the Tate Modern.
We learned that busking meant street performing.
Along Queens Walk we found a few very interesting places. First, we saw a really cool skate park that had a ton of interesting graffiti. There were a ton of radical skater dudes who
showed off their chops to us.
After we passed the skate park, we ran into a really sweet old man who was feeding the seagulls like some sort of wild bird whisperer.
We found a really cool area of shops that specialized in art and design, called OXO. Their branding system was interesting and carried certain aspects of their logo throughout.
One of the shops took the interest of our mascot, StroseGDcat.
We also took the obligatory group photo in front of the Saint Paul's Cathedral.
We arrived at the Tate and saw a lot of the works we had only talked about in class.

After looking at so much art we were rather famished and ate the most American food we could find at a restaurant called Porky's. Including some well designed root beer cans
with BBQ filled Bellies, we headed down the street to the Shakespeare Globe Theater
Where we walked around and got some fancy drinks
It started to rain really badly (such a suprise for London), so we caught the tube to Saint Paul's Cathedral just in time for the evening Mass (the seniors got votive candles to pray for their thesis).
After Saint Paul's we saw some awful kerning on a sign
We finished our day with some shopping and then headed back to the hostel to prepare for our exciting day tomorrow.
To be continued...
