Wallace Collection etc.

Veronika wanted to go to the Wallace Collection on Thursday after Flora's violin class.  I did not take many pictures because this blog already has tons of pictures from the Wallace Collection.

Veronika wollte wieder zur Wallace Kunstsammlung, nachdem Flora mit ihrer Geigenstunde fertig war.  Ich habe nicht viele Fotos gemacht, weil ich auf diesem Blog schon sehr viele Fotos dieser Kunstsammlung habe.

Walking around Marylebone
In Marylebone


And here are pictures from our stations of the cross at the Dominican Rosary Shrine tonight.  It was quite full.
Und hier sind Fotos von der Kreuzwegandacht heute abend (beim Dominikanerschrein).





And here is an interesting book about Germany . . .

  1. Hi Eva, oh my, our two countries' book titles lately are very painful - though I find this particular book's German cover darkly humorous with the broken gnome.
    The Wallace Collection looks like a fun visit . . and Marylebone is a pretty neighborhood in which to walk.
    It's nice you made it to the Stations of the Cross.

    1. True! I found it interesting to see the different covers (English/German). Yes, the gnome is kind of funny, but so is the Beetle (they are not made anymore).

      We really like the Wallace Collection because the size it just right. The collection focuses on French art and has no really old or modern art, but that is okay. You can go to different museums for that.

      Marylebone is pretty, but also expensive.

      We try to get to the Stations of the Cross during Lent and it is much easier to do so when you are here in London.

    2. Yes, everything is more available and easier to get to I imagine.

    3. But also more crowded when you go home.

    5. Like tonight, taking the Northern Line back home. Normally people get off around Camden, but not today, they all kept going.
