On Monday we had our second art class at the Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery, located in the Somerset House. The Courtauld is a small museum, but its selection is outstanding, with works by many of the major Impressionists and post-Impressionists.

Today (Tuesday) we visited another one of my favorite museums, the British Library, and had a guided tour of the Sacred Text exhibition, featuring important religious texts from Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Some of the Bibles were written in gold!

Tomorrow, it's on to Hampton Court, once the home for Henry VIII. Cheers! JP

It looks like you all are having a great time! I am trying to keep in the loop with what you guys are doing by reading Drew's blog, too. I saw the pics of Canterbury--I loved that place! I hope this finds you well, and that England is treating you wonderfully--I wish I was there!
Hey Jamie,
Thanks for the note. Outside of the occasional tube strike and a pathetically weak $, things are well. I haven't seen a raindrop since we arrived.
Jim
