Our last day in London (sob).
Hyde Park, DaVinci show at The Queen's Gallery
We started the day in Hyde Park (it was a beautiful sunny day, after two crappy days back to back), where we visited the memorial fountain to Princess Diana.

Princess Di's memorial in Hyde Park. I was imagining the usual fountain design, but this was so much more reflective of her. It was simple but very powerful. A circular, meditative waterway
that you could walk around or sit by. |
It was nice to sit a bit after hours and days of walking around. This spot afforded us that. It made you stop and reflect, beautiful. But alas, there was still a lot to see and so little time to see it in! We headed next to the Queen's Gallery to see the DaVinci exhibit. I can't believe we actually debated skipping this :)

His "Coitus" drawing is my favorite (think of that what you may).
More fascinating was his reproductive hypotheses... |
 |
I really loved how they displayed his drawings next to a 3-D version.
The accuracy was just mind-blowing. |
 |
| His drawings of the heart |
 |
| This was fucking amazing. Below his vaginal drawing are the differnt ways he surmised the anal sphincter. |
 |
| Can you imagine how fast he had to draw that before it started to rot? There was no formaldehyde in those days... |
 |
| GORGEOUS |
