There are several places where I live which would make good staycation days, but somehow I keep putting off going. Good for you for not doing so!neora chanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481910906695345356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-69163054983118238812012-08-17T08:11:24.777-05:002012-08-17T08:11:24.777-05:00a marvelous venue for a museum--love those stained...a marvelous venue for a museum--love those stained glass windows, and love the sculptures. Wonder if they realize that 'people following you around to make sure you follow the rules' might actually be correlated to the fact that there wasn't anyone else in the museum besides you!? I realize that exhibits need to be protected, but come on. if people don't feel welcomed to the space, they will just stop coming. So glad you stuck it out and shared the visit with us!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-21133901576821016942012-08-17T01:47:55.695-05:002012-08-17T01:47:55.695-05:00I'm so glad you gave the tourist day a go.

Thank you for taking us on this tour; I love the sculptures too and the dust made me laugh. It's a good job I don't run a museum: the dust would be an exhibit! <br /><br />Hope it cools down a bit for you soon. <br /><br />Cheers, <br />rachelKatzElbowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952576154894241013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-41484045349547305702012-08-16T23:16:37.106-05:002012-08-16T23:16:37.106-05:00I wish that 1.

You could have turned the camera on her and took her picture, that would have been a hoot, and that 2. you went back to her and agreed that close up pictures wasn't a good idea since it showed all their dusty neglect! I got such a giggle about her chasing you around, too funny! waving hi from the sandy beaches of Florida ;0 SandeeNChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835920831404996017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-81611163848498273882012-08-16T22:33:40.166-05:002012-08-16T22:33:40.166-05:00It is wonderful that they have preserved this beau...It is wonderful that they have preserved this beautiful old church....you're right the floors are amazing. The displays look interesting and educational but you do have to wonder about the no photos rule. I tell people I am taking pictures for my blog and they are usually very pleased and cooperative but every once in a while!!! It is good to take the time to visit stuff close to home, I always think "I can go there anytime"...so it is good to just do it!Dandelion and Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542764006742929821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-60428712581336724972012-08-16T22:22:30.835-05:002012-08-16T22:22:30.835-05:00You lucky girl to have such a fabulous museum righ...You lucky girl to have such a fabulous museum right on your doorstep and I think the admittance price is really good too! Shame about the prices in the gift shop... that stinks... the people who make that stuff in Africa get cents for it and then they sell it for hundreds... :( <br />Oh yes, love the masks and the figures... and that lovely last fullheaded mask with the shells covering it? I have one of those!!

I'm glad you managed to get a few shots in anyways. ;)<br /><br />It does look like a nice museum, but the gift shop prices were steep-steep!Most gift shops have some cheaper items or postcards or something like that. Not smart on their part.<br /><br />Love your staycations!! Awesome idea...but I can see why you'd wait till it cooled off a tiny bit when you don't have AC in the car! ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-68606846229133300142012-08-16T17:03:41.393-05:002012-08-16T17:03:41.393-05:00Glad you enjoyed your look around--I did, too!

It is a little more then 80 miles but IF I combine a couple other reasons/trips I could do it.

I am afraid I did not notice the footballer, being in the UK I had not heard of him but I do so admire the gorgeous stained glass windows everywhere, how beautiful they are.

It is awesome and I took tons of photos and no one said a thing. It cost about $5 to get in.<br /><br />Have you heard about the art sale at City Arts on Saturday? It is this Sat. the 18th from 9am to 3 pm. I will have a couple of tables there so stop by if you come! I would love to meet you!Lisa Graham https://www.blogger.com/profile/17908986924935514538noreply@blogger.com
