A lazy bank holiday weekend -- Britain's equivalent of Labor Day weekend.

Yesterday, I took in the Hopper exhibit at the Tate Modern. Very nice. "Nighthawks" has its own room and an admiring crowd. It reminded me of the "Mona Lisa" at the Louvre.

If you have a chance to see this wonderful retrospective of Edward Hopper's paintings, move fast. It ends on Sept. 5.

I got to and from the Tate by the fastest -- and possibly nicest -- route: get off at the St. Paul's Tube stop, walk around the back of the cathedral and cross the street, then take the Millenium Bridge to the other side of the Thames and the Tate. Great views!
