Quick catch up
We've been in London now for three weeks and I've barely made a note. The emphasis of this visit has been the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square. We went eight times, about four hours a visit, and saw everything. We've seen most of it before but after all the art in Italy, where the Renaissance began, we needed to take a another look at the Renaissance art here. So, done. And yes, it was different, more in context for one thing plus I had a better idea of who and what to look for.
Anyway, no time to go into details right now. I need to save my battery for Hampton Court. At the moment we're on the Overground headed there for a second look at well. For one thing, I want to get better photos of Henry's kitchen. Its fireplace alone is big enough to live in.

RIP Hanako
So sorry. Rest in peace, beautiful one.
Despite years of international outrage at Inokashira Park's treatment of the elephant Hanako and repeated offers to relocate her to an elephant sanctuary, Hanako passed away this week. She died the same way she spent her life ... alone in the zoo's concrete prison where she lived alone for 60 long years. She never felt grass, or dirt or had the comfort of the company of her own kind.

Trump is a
vulgar, self-obsessed billionaire who's new game is to see if he can
buy the Presidency. That's it. He loves the game. He is on no one's
side but his own and will say and do anything to win. Oh he's a charmer
but, once he's got you, he's already moved on. Now he owns the
Republican party. Too bad guys. You lose. Should he win the election, we
all lose. Bush gets credit for stirring up the Taliban and the birth of
ISIS. Trump would top that.
