This morning we ate breakfast in the hotel (The Zetter -- highly recommend it) and it was delicious. Afterwards, we took the Tube to the Tate Modern and poked around in the galleries of the permanent collection. It made for a very leisurely morning.
We went to the Menier Chocolate Factory for a 3:30p performance of "Aspects of Love." Once she realized that the running time was almost three hours (2:40) Michele proposed that we sleep in shifts. Honestly, I was afraid I'd fall asleep during the first act but I made it through. We both did. The show had a few catchy tunes. I liked the return to "Love Changes Everything" throughout the show. I think the leads, Michael Arden and Katherine Kingsley, have very bright futures ahead of them.
I love Stephen Sondheim but I'm weak for Andrew Lloyd Webber. Sondheim is more sophisticated and mysterious but ALW is a rock star with a deep sensitive side. I feel like I'm part of a high school love triangle. Oh, how they toy with me.
Tomorrow we return to the States. I've enjoyed London and will definitely be back.
HIGHLIGHT: I enjoyed walking through the Tate and discussing the art with Michele. At some point I needed caffeine so we went to the cafe and sat on the patio about the Thames and chitchatted about the internets.
