Big stuff. . . . (Day 6)

Well, today we got to prove that even though we are a group of  "adults" we cannot get anywhere on time. Even when that 'anywhere' is the lobby of our own building. ~sigh~.
However, we did get to go to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Its a great museum with a lot of cool stuff. I had a photo of the amazing hanging glass sculpture that was in the lobby. 
Not sure where that photo went. Sorry.

However, we did have lunch at a really cute pub and I branched out to try a pie. It was a steak & beer pie. It sounded intriguing so I ordered it. Yum!


Look at that yummy-ness! It was enough that I didn't need any more food for the rest of the day (double yay!). 

The Natural History Museum was really cool too, and we got to explore it on our own. Honestly, the first thing that struck me was that it was ANOTHER cool building with interesting architectural details. Where did all these buildings come from? Not to mention the sheer cost of them!


Then, came the dinosaurs. Its been so long since I've seen dinosaurs it made me feel like a little kid, staring up at them. :-)


The dinosaurs also started the beginning of when we started to run into Professor Bossen everywhere we went! Museums, Restaurants, streets, everthing! It is crazy (and a little creepy). We also did a high-speed glance at the rest of the museum, and this sheep made me giggle. 


Call me crazy, but I agreed with the woman behind me who called him a "Cheeky little sheep". That, and the phrase itself entertains me too.

I wanted to go see the Wallace and Grommit exhibit at the science museum (yet another large and impressive building). But it cost 7 pounds, and we only had an hour and a half before we had to get back to the dorm to meet with Bossen about our project. 

About that talk with Bossen- oy vey. I had completely forgotten how obsessed the man is about depth of field. He dislikes any photo where the background is even marginally in focus. 

He also mentioned that a few students had questions about different things and that he sent them my way. 

So Katie and I spent the evening in a park while she learned how to use her camera. Stonehenge was the next morning, you can't go into that without figuring out your camera some. It was fun, and I got some cute shots. 





And then it was time to head to bed- because we had to leave for stonehenge at 2:20am.
