I was particulary excited to see The Pre-Raphaelite Dream: Paintings and Drawings from the Tate Collection.

We stayed busy, but I also had enough spare time to read "A Bridge of Birds", which was mostly lighthearted and occasionally profound. I see a bit too much of myself in Li Kao... after all, I do have a slight flaw in my character.
All in all, it was just what the doctor ordered. Pictures to come, of course.
