Excursions

Just so you don't think I'm going nowhere for Spring Break, I've just been on two very satisfying day trips. Yesterday I trained out to Princeton to see an old professor, hang out in the Religion Department lounge and binge at the Princeton Record Exchange. And today I bused (Chinatown bus!) to Phillie to see the exhibition Cézanne and Beyond at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, certainly one of the most satisfying exhibitions I've ever seen - I'll tell you more about it in another post. (To explain the pictures: above - it's break at PU too, so the only people on campus were Korean tourists; below - the Philadelphia Museum is a Greek historicist folly in warm stone and even warmer colors.)
