Scene 5: Tortilla, Paintings, and Break Dancers

On Monday, June 14, I went to the National Gallery.

The National Gallery houses the national collection of Western European painting from the 13th to the 19th centuries.

It's huge. I didn't have a map, just a free afternoon and force of will.

The National Gallery sits on one side of Trafalgar Square.

This is where the protest was. There are cool little touches to the square, like this:

A countdown until the Olympics.

And this:

A giant ship in a bottle.

And him:

Also in front of the National Gallery that day was a group of French dancers. Click on the link:

For breakfast that morning, I found a spanish cafe where they serve tortilla:

I cannot tell you how happy this made me. It was glorious. (It's awkward in shape because I ate a bite of it before remembering to take a picture... it was really good, okay?)


And, just for my mom, they had these lovely natural soaps for sale in the National Gallery shop, made in honor of the wedding of Their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge:

Everyone should get soap for their wedding.
