The British Museum

One of the best things about where I'm staying in London is that it's within walking distance of practically everything. Yesterday my friend Monica and I walked over to the British Museum to have a look around, and we saw some pretty incredible stuff.
There I am, out in front of the museum. I love those columns.



These pots were in one of the Mesopotamian rooms. They were excavated from what used to be Judea. I can't remember when.


These are dice from a display of Greek toys. There were also marbles and jointed dolls.



Here I am next to the Rosetta Stone, which was carved in Egypt in 196 BC, and found in 1799.

There were a lot of other amazing things in the museum, but that darn photo restriction is getting in my way again!
