Our arrival in London, along with our first full day at the British Museum and the British Library. During this journey, I am playing the nerdy historian and my sister. Mary is playing the cool botanist. Some of the highlights of our trip to these amazing institutions were the Elgin marbles (please give them back to Greece), the Sutton Hoo helmet, the Rosetta Stone, the Magna Carta, the Emancipation Proclamation by Lincoln, lots of medieval archaeological finds that I appreciated. The Egyptian rooms were the scariest because they were filled with many many school children milling about like hordes of little Vikings.🤣
