A Busman's Holiday?


What do professors do on their weekend off? Go to libraries of course. Well, Profs. Newton and Dagni went to London (showing a few of the students how to get signed into the British Library, the Institute of Historical Research, and leaving them with the compatriots at the British Museum). Back to the BL on Saturday, but some time for climbing the Monument commemorating the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire of 1666 (above) and a visit to Southwark (the Cathedral above right) for markets and relaxation (as one might have done in Shakespeare's time). Group will be returning to the Thames on our last week as well.
