OCTOBER 3, 2010 (LONDON—DAY 7)

On this day of our London trip, we visited the Tate Britain Museum (which is different from the newer Tate Modern that we visited a few days before that). We also went to Camden Town where we saw Omar.

Here we are at the end of the day with our sack lunches we bought at the train station on our way back to the hotel.

Where else but in Camden Town do you see a guy with a didgeridoo hanging off his back?


Laura, Omar and Verona


You can tell it is Omar's shadow, can't you?
