Lounging in London

In July, the Desert Rat and I spent a few days in London. I love London, it is such a great city and apart from catching up with our many friends there, I like to try and do something different each time I go there. This time we ventured over to the Tate Modern on the south side of the Thames. They had an outdoor exhibition on the side of the walls - giant pieces of art which were really cool.

After looking at the exhibitions on the inside, we came out to find a storm almost breaking, giving us some pretty atmospheric photos looking over Saint Pauls:

We are a bit starved of live music in Tripoli, so when we found out that Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings (a very, very cool Motown style band - check them at out at http://www.daptonerecords.com/) were playing at the Rise Festival in London while we were there, we jumped at the chance to see them perform. Unfortunately their set was cut short due to some technical difficulties, but they were worth the wait!

It was a great trip, even though the Desert Rat did have to work some of the time and we look forward to next time we are back in London.
