Well today was busy! I started off @ Camden Market (which was very overwhelming) and spent the early afternoon walking around. I didn’t buy any goods or presents, but did get a hot cider :) Then I bussed to the National Gallery and spent a few hours there (I got to see Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers”, Monet’s “Water Lilly”, Matisses, Manetes, Degas, Van Eyke’s “Betrothal”, and Velazquez’s “De Las Meninas” (to name the ones I remember and recognized! There were also some pieces by Rubens, Titian, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Da Vinci). I could definitely go back, there’s so much to see!
This evening I saw the Royal Shakespeare Company’s (RSC's) production of Antony and Cleopatra. Not necessarily my favorite Shakespeare place or performance, but the acting and staging were superb!
“The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry / Where most she satisfies"
Very excited to be out and exploring after being cooped up for so long!
Best!
