Sunburn in London
May 22, 2005 - Tagged as: Travel
Somehow I managed to get a sunburn while I was out in London today. I did the hop-on-hop-off bus tour thing today. I went to the National Art Gallery and the Tate Modern Art Gallery. I think I saw more art today than I have in the last 4 years. The National Art Gallery was amazing. It was more impressive to me than the Tate Modern Gallery. It's not that their was anything wong with the Tate gallery, but I prefer portraits to modern, abstract art.

I didn't realize that so much of the art from the 1500-1700's was so god-centric. It seems like almost every painting in there has some biblical character in it.
I also saw Nelson's monument in Trafalgar Square. It's huge. I'm a bit overwhelmed there is so much to do here, and I don't have a lot of time. I think I may be spending tomorow night in Stansted airport tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to that. I have to figure out how to get there now.
