Saturday was Bookstore Romance Day, so I watched a number of the panels, and also made a trip to the local bookstore, and maybe bought some cards and things too.
And then yesterday was the last day of the Da Vinci exhibit at DC Public Library, so, I went. My friend had been warned that it was popular, and they were limiting people in the room, so we'd be wise to get there before opening.
And I gotta tell you, DC, the town that lines up before the library opens is kind of on brand.
The exhibit included several of his sketches of various machines, all kept in a darkened and climate controlled room so that these ancient drawings can be preserved as well as possible. There was an actual clock too, which was fun to look at.
It's kind of amazing to look at these sketches and doodles from a few hundred years ago. Humans are often such wonderful dreamers, and seeing evidence of that was really an interesting opportunity.
And yay to local libraries!
