The British Museum

Our day of arrival was gray, cold and gloomy, but today was a glorious
day! Blue skies, cool and totally heavenly. John & I took the tube to
the British Museum where we spent 3 hours looking at "stuff."

The British Museum chronicles the development of Western civilization.
The British flag flew over a quarter of the world in the 19th century
and this museum has much of the "booty" the triumphant conquerors
brought home with them. You can follow the rise and fall of Egypt,
Greece & Assyria here, watch the development of The Enlightenment and
learn something about virtually any civilization that ever existed on
Earth. I love this place! If they would give me a tiny bedroom there
I'd live happily ever after.

This is my favorite thing today.
