I have returned from a vacation where my phone mostly served as a camera/GPS as opposed to a communication device and I’m pleased to report that while semi-offline I saw many Cool Old Things, including—for the lit nerds (me)— the museum in the apartment where John Keats died.

Painting of John Keats’ bedroom and plaque establishing the room as where he passed

The antique bed modeled after the one Keats had in his room and passed away on

Another angle of the museum and wooden bookcases

Age verification: my first MP3 player was a Zune, it was the one that was 30gb and shaped like a brick

Age verification: I bought myself a pair of Doc Martens before most people knew who Nirvana were (at one of two stores in town that carried them)
