Could it be; the homebody is finally beginning to get out there and live a little?
This morning there was sunshine for the second day in a row (!) and I had made plans to meet up with one of Jason's workmates and explore the Museum of Natural History.
The museum was absolutely massive, in a stunning building. I wandered around with S for a few hours, checking out a stack of exhibitions. I loved the displays in the raw materials section - it looked so wonderfully artsy that I just had to take a picture of it.
After a few hours, a few more girls dropped by the museum and joined us in our exploring - we headed straight for the dinosaurs, followed by the human body and animal sections. I had a ball ambling around the museum; I would've loved to have had a pedometer attached to my hip because my feet were killing me at the end of the day!
I also had way too much fun with the warped mirrors. (It's the stretchiest camera ever!)
After a late lunch/early dinner in a pub in South Kensington, we made our way into the city to catch the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations - turns out we were a little too late. We missed the fireworks, but went into Trafalgar Square to check out the atmosphere. There were still loads of people around for a Sunday night, a big stage with lanterns everywhere and lots and lots of red signs and decorations. A great sight.
I was born in the Year of the Rat - so I know this year is going to be a fantastic one.

I love the entrance to that building, and I am very jealous of the sunshine you are enjoying!

I am a Rooster and my Chinese Zodiac year was wonderful! Hope yours is too!
awesome photos!!
I am so jealous of your adventures!
I was born the year of the rooster which is something I DID NOT KNOW for 26 years. I thought I was born the year of the dog but apparently the year of the dog started January 25 in 1982. I was born January 3. I'm still not over this discovery.
