The Glory of Museums

I am in awe of the museums in London. I had been to art museums and stuff before, back in the States, but walking into a museum in London is just awe-inspiring. I feel like I walk around with my mouth gaping open in amazing constantly. Today I went to the Victoria and Albert Museum to see a plaster cast of the Trajan Column. The column (originally marble) is 38 metres high, including the square base, and covered in a spiraling carving of various scenes. It's just so immense..........
Anyways, that was my first venture into London alone today. I took the tube from Highbury & Islington to Green Park, and then switched to the Picadilly line and took it to South Kensington, and there's a big subway tunnel from the station leading right into the museum. It was pretty handy. I looked at the Trajan Column like I was supposed to, and then wandered through the fashion exhibit because I had some extra time. So many fascinating and beautiful items of clothing... There were a couple dresses that I would LOVE to be able to wear. Simply gorgeous.

However, it's almost supper time, so I'll end this post. I'm still loving London!
