I intended to take a short walk before beginning to work on my portfolio again, but instead took a 2-hour tour around South Kensington. I stopped quickly at the V&A Museum on April 15th or 16th, I don't remember which, and it was very different from any other museum I have seen. It is very artifact-driven, and there were large plaster replicas of architecture and artifacts from around the world. I went into the Europe rooms on the first floor to the Cast Courts, Medieval 300-1500, and Renaissance 1400-1600. I went into the John Madejski Garden and then I walked through the Materials and Techniques sculpture rooms. There were some beautiful scupltures of busts and people in here, particularly one of a sculptor's daughter. There was also a striking statue of Truth tearing out the tongue of Falsehood.
Then, I walked up Queensgate to Crussh where I got a banana smoothie, went into multiple stores, and then did some food shopping in Marks & Spencer (I got the best breads, natural gummies, chicken, potatoes, etc.) Finally, I returned to Manson Place to attempt writing my portfolio.
