British Museum Visit

Day 7: The British Museum visit.  If you ever make it to London you must go to the British Museum.  We saw the Rosetta Stone, part of the Parthenon, jewelry from 500 BC, treasures from Ur and Babylon.  Magnificent!

 I have acquired a great admiration for clocks since I read Dava Sobel's Longitude.  It is about the race between two scientists to make a clock that will allow sailors to figure longitude while sailing using a clock.  Now I have visited the Prime Meridian to see Harrison's clocks and the  British Museum to see even more ancient clocks.

After a day at the museum we ate supper at the original Hardrock Cafe.

Tomorrow we visit Cambridge University.  Then back home to good ole Corinth, MS.
