I meant to make a note of this several weeks ago, but got distracted, so I'll insert it here.

One is supposed to spend 70 minutes here (a "tour" takes that long, apparently), but I didn't have that much time to spare. Anyway, do click on the link and remind me to take you there one day if we get the opportunity.
