British Museum

I wish I knew how not to be so tired at the end of the day but today was another day of being exhausted. I’m hoping I’ll be better tomorrow but if anyone has an idea about how to overcome this exhaustion I’m all ears.

There was no class today since it was Friday so I slept in and then went to Regent Street and met Aubrey and Echo at Hambley’s which is the huge toy store here in London. I found three or four different stuffed animal lemurs… I may have bought one. Can you blame, though? I mean, how many toy stores have options of what kind of lemur you can buy? Not many in the States, that’s for sure.

After that we met everyone else by the Tottenham Court Tube Station and headed over to the British Museum. It was pretty cool. The inside structure of the building was pretty interesting all by itself with the big cylindrical thing in the middle. Aubrey, Erin, and I spent most of our time looking at the Egypt exhibits. I got some cool pictures of Our Beloved Hathor and a giant Scarab beetle. Then it was to the gift shops and bookstore to see what money we could spend. I actually didn’t get that much but there were a few things I wanted to get for people – not saying who – and so that’s what I did. Certain birthday boys, though, are VERY hard to shop for, by the way. Some helpful pointers would be great.

Aubrey and I went back to the Old Monk – I got a picture of the outside this time. It was a short day. I know these blogs haven’t been too interesting the last few days but I will try to remedy that this weekend. There should be a lot to tell with Bath & Cheddar Gorge Caves on Saturday and Canterbury and Dover on Sunday.

See you tomorrow!
