7/19-7/27: a London list

Some good things from my time in London: elderflower pressé, Planet Organic, the British Library (and sitting across from the same other researcher in the reading room for 3 days in a row), Freud's London home, The Masks of Mer (a documentary film shown at the British Museum), Marlowe's Doctor Faustus staged at the Globe, the Twombly and Poussin exhibit at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, new sculpture at the Saatchi Gallery, Pisoletto's installation at the Serpentine Gallery, a short photographic venture into Kensington Gardens, successful seminar sessions with students, and spending my last few pounds at Heathrow on British chocolates to bring home.

Glad to have you back on our side of the ocean!

Thanks, Sandy & Barbara! By coincidence, on my flight back from London I sat next to another professor who had just finished up a research trip to the UK. We both agreed that, though it was good to go, it was also good to be coming home. He wanted to see his spouse and their dogs; I wanted to see Chris and our cats.
