Walky and delicious dinner

Pedometer for the Day 25, 353
We walked Hyde Park on this gorgeous day. Sunny 70 degrees breezy. We walked until we saw the Peter Pan statue in Kennsington park. We went to the Green Man for lunch in Harrods Department store which is huge and full of expensive delights we could not afford. Although we could pay in US dollars for a change which was nice. We headed home for a nap and a clean up then to the Tate Modern Gallery to basically see Picasso's, Cezanne's, Monet's and Manet's and some pretty weird "art" films which were basically porn. One dude wore a monkey mask and danced around naked.
We went to Covent Gardens to kill some time before our dinner reservation at Rules which is the oldest restuarant in London and had a delicous meal of venison, ham, crab bisque, dover sole, with sapphire seaweed and calf liver and mashed potatoes with onions.
To walk off dinner we cruised Soho and Picadilly Circus where we met Mark. Mark told us all about his trials attempting to get two yound Los Angeles natives home to his flat but only got so far as his home pub before they embarrassed him and he had to leave them behind. Crazy ole englishman.

Good day.
