Coming and going were easy, except for a 25 minute hiccup (needing to wait 25 minutes for the next train to come, when we should have hopped on a bus). Both options would have taken us to the exact same place, just a few blocks from our residence hall. Lesson: next time, read the train schedule!!Here are a few pix from "Another Place", where we joined 100 cast-iron life-size figures of artist, Antony Gormley. 
Into the ocean and the horizon, each of them look out. Blue water fades into distant landscapes against the blue sky. When we arrived around 3:30 pm, only the tops of the heads could be seen. By the time we walked down the promenade, the tides rolled back and revealed the figures seen above. According to Gromely, the work is seen as a poetic response to the individual and universal sentiments associated with emigration - sadness at leaving, but the hope of a new future in another place.
