We're back from our UK trip. My research at the British Library didn't go as planned -- but after some retooling I think I'll be able to write a paper on the manuscript I was looking at. While in London we went to the Tower of London, the new Supreme Court buildings, a concert at St. Martin-in-the-Fields church, and to the British Museum.
We spent most of our time in Scotland, seeing the Highlands, Loch Ness, and Edinburgh. The National Library of Scotland and National Museum of Scotland were both amazing and highly recommended. We also took a tour of the underground vaults which was not really scary.
We only spent a day in Dublin but that was long enough to see the Book of Kells and a cathedral and walk around the city. The place we stayed at was near the waterfront so we walked down to the ocean after dark.
We already want to go back!
