Tate Modern

On my day off I went and visited the Tate Modern Museum and The Gherkin to see where my Aunt works. The Tate, was spectacular. I spent a little over 3 hours in there just wandering around and looking at the pieces inside it. I sat in front of an Asger Jorn piece for at least 20 minutes, finding the meaning of the piece and the love that he shows in each of his pieces. This was one of my favorites in the Tate: http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?workid=7757&roomid=3542

The Gherkin had an amazing view. I ate lunch with my Aunt on the 34th floor, which was the top floor and I could see all of London in any way that I looked. I loved it!! It is one of the financial centers in London and was amazing to be in and tour around. Again, like most places I went to in London there was “no flash photography” inside. hehe
