Wednesday has dawned very wet. This is my first vacation I have every had in winter. I am a warmth and sun lover, so I have only vacationed in the north in summer and to India and Africa or Los Angeles in winter, so this is different. But it is only four and a half days.
Last night while walking with David, we passed the National Theatre so I went in to see if they had a good ticket for tonight and they did. So that is where I will be tonight. YAY!! And today we will go to some galleries, David and I, and have a nice lunch somewhere.
The hotel is fine. It is in a nice neighbourhood with PLENTY of restaurants around—especially Indian ones—and the tube is a half-block away.
Hopefully, I will get a camera cable today so that I can share my photos with you.
We had a lovely day walking around the National Gallery and the National Museum.
This contemporary African work is a huge limp
tapestry made of flattened aluminum wine bottle top wrappers.
It is absolutely stunning.
This is an exquisite ivory mask that sparkled.
This photo does not do it justice. The intricate carving
of the hair is not visible in this shot.
African hats from Sierra Leon.
Glistening marble statuary everywhere;
this was a particularly beautiufl one.
