day three: london

We kicked the day off with a veggie version of true English breakfasts. Fried eggs (just me), mushrooms, baked beans, toast (on a little rack), roasted tomatoes, potatoes, veggie sausage, and tea. We are considering adding the beans to our regular menu at home.

• Tate Modern - The Unilever Series: Rachel Whiteread, Jeff Wall: Photographs 1978-2004, as well as a few permanent galleries including some Warhols.
  
• LOTS more Bankside walking and exploring
  
• We had pizza for a late lunch at Pizza Express. This is a chain we see everywhere in London. For a fast food-sounding name, this place is aa sit-down restaurant that is a bit swanky. Cloth napkins (a good indicator for my mom), fresh flowers, and wine glasses on every table. Robin likes her white pizza with pesto, mozzarella, tomatoes, and rocket (arugula). I find my mushroom pizza with red sauce to be... you guessed it, bland. We notice, not for the first time in Europe, that most restaurants offer up pizza in only one size and don't cut it.
• We grab the tube at the London Bridge station and make our way back to Bloomsbury for a rest.
  
• Eat and Two Veg for dinner. This is an all vegetarian upscale diner. I order the Hot Pot, which is like a stew which is perfect for this drizzly night. It still wasn't overly spicy, but more flavorful than most of the meals we have had on this leg in London.
  
• We walked through Marylebone and the Oxford Street shopping area which was all lit up for holidays

I know it seems like a short list, but we sure did burn up the day doing it.
