London Get Away

St. Pancras Station














This is where the Eurotunnel drops you off.
First stop Paris, 2 hours and 15 minutes later you are in the middle of London.


"From Russia" Exhibit at the Royal Academy



























Incredible exhibit of the works that two Russian art collectors that basically hoarded into their Moscow mansions at the beginning of the 20th century. Matisses, Manets, Picassos, Cezannes and Gaugins...and towards the end of the exhibit are the Russian artists who then mimicked the cubanist and impressionist styles. The two Russian collectors had such a strong sense for grand art because they acquired many of these works, before they were coveted in Paris.
