My darling daughter turned 21, and I got the great pleasure of treating her to a week in London. Of the many highlights, here are a few.
Taking photos of graffiti near Waterloo bridge. Getting a kick out of reading the names on the subway map & recognizing so many of them from pop culture
Playing tourist and checking out the locals.
Cramming in as many amazing exhibitions as our eyeballs and feet would allow.
Detail from The Gundestrup cauldren, c. 1,000 BC. (Creepy how this reminds me of the symbol in the first season of True Detective!)
An iron age meathook. Funtioncal art!
Being Irish I thought I had a clue about the Celts, but this exhibition was an eye opener in more ways than one.
Worn out!
Only through a bloody miracle and some marginally immoral behavior did we catch our flight for a quick visit back to the West of Ireland. She was looking mysteriously celtic!
