2000 St. Ives, Cornwall: Walkabout

The middle of May, 2000, continued

There are many things which I didn't photograph which really do deserve documentation. I plead the exhaustion of a tired child-toting tourist.

The Tate St. Ives - one of four branches of this museum - is spectacularly located on Porthmeor beach. I can understand why artists are drawn to St. Ives. The combination of country living, the pseudo-urban crucible of ideas found in cafés and pubs, and the wonderful light. Things are so clear here that it's eerie. (It reminds me a bit of Martha's Vineyard, on the other side of the Atlantic.)

Another thing which I completely missed photographing are the shops on Fore Street, which parallels The Wharf. Here we had high tea, crumpets and clotted cream, and other delicacies. There was even a store which sold some organic goods; we was thrilled to be able to keep Isaac going on fresh produce and dairy products.

And there are some nice bookstores in St. Ives in which I would have liked to spend a bit more time.

I did take some pictures, despite my weariness.

Trip's end. We're flying back from London Heathrow to San Francisco via the non-stop Virgin Atlantic 747. It's a pleasant trip. Once again we're seated at the bulkhead, so Isaac has a bit more play space. Here he's in some sort of business meeting, having commandeered our in-flight telephones / video control units. Luckily he doesn't have a credit card to activate the phones....

Thank you for coming along on this trip. Hopefully we'll see you on another one of our trips.
