Westminster, British museum - 30.8.12
This morning we got up, ate some fried tomatoes for breakfast, and took the tube over to Westminster Abbey. I got to say hello to my friends Isaac Newton and James Joule. Lord Kelvin's grave was cool to the touch--I think it was because heat was flowing naturally into the warmer abbey. Anyways, we spent a bit of time in the abbey, then went over to the British museum. On my way in I walked past the original greek statue of the discus thrower without even noticing it was there. I was in a hurry to see the statues that the British empire had graciously "saved" from the parthenon in Athens. After seeing mummies, asking socrates a question, pretending to read cuneiform, and seeing and other artifacts from antiquity, we went to Picidally Circus which doesn't allow cars to drive in a circle around it, and I held a jacket in Harrod's that cost 13,000 pounds. I'll have to save up.
Let's see... Alpha, Lambda, Epsilon, Xi... That's my name carved in a 2000+ year old stone! I'm so proud. I know enough Greek from math to read a little bit.
