It’s our last day in the US and we have a couple of hours to kill before heading for the airport.
We decided to head to Buffalo for our last two days here, booking into a hotel with the money we made from various workshops. It was a good choice – especially as Debra came with us for one night and acted as a guide to the City.
Buffalo is so much bigger than Jamestown, having a more ‘cosmopolitan’ feel and many major art galleries and museums.
Saturday (yesterday!) was a chance to use my ICOM card, visiting TheBuffalo Museum of Science to see the ‘Mummies of the World’ exhibition, to The Albright Knox Gallery to see their collection ( inc an excellent exhibition by Anselm Kiefer) then on to the Burchfield Art Centre to see their collection PLUS an evening discussion between author Ishmael Reed and Jeff Simon.
All of the above was between shopping (thrift shops everywhere here!) and stuffing our faces with anything that contained sugar. It was such a perfect end to a trip that has had so many extremes.
I think I have gained so much from the experience and hope to put my new found knowledge to good use.
