England: Visiting the British Museum


From English teacher
Armistead Wilson:

Today we spent most of our time at the British Museum. Interestingly, we learned firsthand that Roman marble and Egyptian stone carvings don't really need the heat, and so the museum was freezing! Still, we stayed for hours and enjoyed the Elgin marbles, Sutton Hoo treasures, and other worldly exhibits. We then headed to Covent Garden to explore the shops, eats, and outdoor entertainment. Snowy and beautiful again today. Also freezing! Somehow it seems a bit chillier in Celsius (today it was approximately -2 to 0:). Full day ahead tomorrow: Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, and theatre tickets in the West End. The girls have already navigated by tube, bus, and cab; they are all pros by this point!
