Great Thursday

After a fun Writing class I made the trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) for Art History.  We spent time looking in the Medieval and Renaissance Art portion of the museum and talking about the influences of the times.  We saw works by Michelangelo, Donatello, and saw one of Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks.  It's pretty incredible to think that Leonardo actually wrote in the little book that was right in front of us (especially writing everything mirrored from right to left).

The weather yesterday also couldn't have been much better- around 80 degrees fahrenheit and clear blue skies.  We got let out of Art an hour early so Addie, Maria, and I went to Hyde Park to enjoy the day.  We walked around for a while and then sat in the shade next to the water before making the two mile walk back to Bloomsbury.  Still wanting to enjoy the beautiful weather, we decided to stop at a pub on the way home and sat outside.  This will now be tradition on Thursday afternoons.

After getting home, I ate dinner and then got ready to go to club Pacha for the night.  We got there around 10:30 and stayed until around 2 a.m. but got to listen to DJ Hardwell.  By far the best DJ we've seen so far!  A really really great night out was capped by a 3 mile walk home with Brian, Molly, and Maria which included a stop by Buckingham Palace at 2:30 in the morning.  Doesn't get much better than that!  

Fun at Buckingham Palace
