More London

We spent yesterday hanging out with Phil Masters (phil_masters) in London. Aside from chatting, bites to eat, and coffee, we covered a lot of ground looking at exhibits and museums. Two of the highlights were the British Library (where we saw a number of very old and important manuscripts, including one of the four extant copies of the Magna Carta) and the V&A (where we spent some four or five hours becoming less uneducated). Many thanks to Phil for the recommendations and pointers to the good stuff!

We just got back from Kew Gardens, which was another all-afternoon experience. Needless to say, those are some impressive gardens. I especially liked the glasshouses and the gum trees, but everything was wonderful.

Now to rest for an hour or so before heading out for drinks, dinner, and who-knows-what.
