So...that holiday. Right.

I fell in love today...

::grin::

...with the Wren Library. I swear my jaw dropped and hit the floor when we walked in for my seminar this morning. Normally I don't care for Neoclassical architecture, but when said Neoclassical architecture involves midmorning sun streaming through *massive* mullioned arch windows onto hundreds of priceless books...

Yeah.

In love.

Now back to my romantic evening with Richard III.

ETA (22:21): Link to a photograph of aforementioned library. Doesn't do it justice but at least gives an idea.

I myself have fond memories of the beautiful Library Of Congress. Also of Nick verbally beating himself up for deciding not to bring a camera. :)

Hee. Reading all the quotations. I got quite the crick in my neck from that. And didn't we almost get locked in there or something, I remember some issue with metal detectors.
