Old town & Storming the Castle
Day 2! I knew that I had to visit Edinburgh Castle as it’s only the defining landmark of the whole city. You know, so it’s kinda a big deal. Day 2 was a bit of a whirlwind for me because I set a new personal record: I SAW 5 MUSEUMS IN ONE DAY!!!! And I… Read More Old town & Storming the Castle
New Town, NPGofS & SNG
Now does this title make sense? I will fill you in after I illuminate all y’all with my brilliance: On day 1 I stayed in the area of Edinburgh called New Town. It’s where all the rich people moved due to overcrowding in the Old Town. It is a Georgian Era construction and is now… Read More New Town, NPGofS & SNG
Aye, Scotland
It’s READING WEEK! And since Ryanair was having a sale, I made the rash (but excellent) decision to head up north. The flight to Edinburgh took only an hour and cost me 8 pounds (so like 12$USD). The Canadian dollar is still doing so poorly I tear up at the thought of it. Le sad.… Read More Aye, Scotland

So this will be the first of three posts. Three in one day may be a record (even for… Read More A day with Renoir, Degas and others
Oxford & Pitt Rivers
Class field trip numero 4! This time we all piled on the bus and headed to the town of Oxford (where Oxford University is located). Before heading to the Pitt-Rivers Museum, we were able to wander around. My FACE in front of the Bodleian library. Any true Mary Russell fan knows one must try… Read More Oxford & Pitt Rivers
Kew again!
Everyone, please take a second to read that title out loud. It’s hilarious. Anyways- Museum Trip no. 4 was to the lovely Kew Gardens! We got to check out the Economic Botany Collection with a tour by the curator. The collection was a symptom of Britian’s expanding empire. Knowing the properties of plants… Read More Kew again!
