I have never lived in or been in a city bigger than Indianapolis for a significant amount of time. I think I am jut now starting to grasp how big London is, it's pretty crazy. Even having figured out the subway system it is still a pretty significant walk to some of the places. On top of that, there is probably years worth of things to do and see in London and I've only barely put a dent in my list, I suppose I'll survive though and just have to save the rest for another trip back. Left: British Museum, its about 8 times that long

     I did make it to the British Museum today and ended up staying for 6 hours, I loved it. It's basically full of ruins from Mespotamia to 1980 England and its huge. It is gigantic. I mean its really really big. I started with the Egyptian stuff and got to see the rosetta stone and some others before moving to the Greek part which I remembered some things from CNT. It did get me really excited when I saw all the artifacts and will be in Greece in less than 2 weeks now. The midieval ages stuff was my second favorite, behind the Greeks. There is just something special about that time period just before the Renaissance, a certain elegance that accompanies most everything. Plus its just a magical time of relics and crusades and this battle for control between church and state. I find it very interesting. Right: St. James Park - they have beautiful parks.

     Once I managed to pull myself away from the museum which by the way its free to enter, I hopped back on the subway and headed to the Globe Theatre which was actually a replica. But a very good replica at that (the original burnt down and I feel like I knew that but somehow forgot), anyways, it was a very good replica down to the exact wood type and using pegs instead of screws for all the joints. The plaster for the walls even had cow hair in it. I took a brief tour of that which probably wasn't worth 7 pounds but still was neat. I was going to see a show tonight but they only had awful seats left, I suppose I'll survive.

     I managed to make it to the Buckingham Palace just before close to buy a ticket to take a tour of it tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that, they're supposed to have some rooms open that aren't normally open to the public. It should be a busy day as I'm going to try to do a whole lot in a little amount of time. Left: London Tower Bridge from London Bridge, and no, its not falling down.
