Art Museum
a few of us went to an art museum on trafalgar square. it was really good. apparently from the 1200's to like the 1700's the painters only painted baby Jesus sucking on Mary's breast. there were so many of that exact same scene. that or baby Jesus blessing baby John the Baptist who's carrying a giant cross or something about him being on the cross. it all got quite repetitive after a while. oh, and i saw a few of john's head after it was cut off. past the 1700's is when it extended to outdoor scenes and random people. but by then we were all wore out and moving through quicker. but it was a really nice museum and we saw a few good classics.
this is a good view of trafalgar square from the steps of the museum
came back home and passed out for a couple hours. apparently everyone around me happened to do the same thing. and the sun doesn't set here until about 9:00 so even when it's late it still feels early. when we woke a few of us hung out in the cafe. i won in foosball, lost in pool.
i guess i didn't do as much today as i have on other days, but it felt nice to take it a little easier. my feet have been KILLING me! they haven't had much chance to rest. there's too much walking to do around here. :)
i liked the architecture here... except for the modern looking store on the bottom

I remember going to the museum at Trafalgar Square. It was around Christmastime and they had carolers in the front. Pretty cool! Best part is that the museum is free!
