Hello, Dali!

I'm trying to stay caught up with this blog....Forgive me for my tardiness.

Yesterday, we walked around Central London. The weather was for once typical London weather--blustery and rainy. Many things were closed due to it being New Year's Day, but we saw the outside of many places, including the Parliament Building & Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, the Thames, etc. We plan on going back on Monday to tour Westminster. (Pictures to follow)

We also had time to visit the Dali Universe, a section of the County Hall Gallery devoted to Dali's works. It was quite interesting, particularly the sculptures which I haven't seen before (The Art Institute in Chicago, where I'm from, has a few of his better know oil paintings). Katie and I each got the audio tour as well. We spent about an hour and a half there, which is just long enough to see everything and not lose your mind.
