Dodgy

Today, D'Layna and I spent the morning relaxing before heading off to the British Museum to look around.  Primarily, as English majors, we went there to see the Rosetta Stone.

It was super crowded around it but that didn't stop us from being super excited to see it!  After that, we just wandered around the museum for a bit, not really looking at everything but seeing a few things.  They had so much old pottery there! 

I mean, I know that there would be pottery from the ancient times, but I truly didn't expect to see so much in one place.

They also had a lot of ancient Egyptian items on top of everything else.

With a really nice pillar from something Greek or Roman.

There was a lot of ancient jewelry in there.

With a lot of it wonderfully intricate and delicate.  They had quite a few sarcophagus'.

Along with a surprising amount of mummies.  This one may be Cleopatra.

And we saw so many other things that I'm not going to go on about them all because then I would never stop talking.

After that, D'Layna and I walked to Piccadilly Circus to try to do some shopping.  When we got there, we were surprised about how many people were there in football/soccer jersies with a soccer ball bouncing about.  We tried to avoid the crowd and stepped on many beer cans while walking out.  While we were buying some stuff we bought, it literally sounded like a riot was going on outside.  People were blowing whistles and yelling and calling out.  I think that they were only trying to celebrate but it sounded a bit scary and disconcerted the both of us.  It was later that we remembered that there was the English football equivalent of the Superbowl going on that night.  We decided to go back to Highbury shortly out of that and passed more people drinking and singing and celebrating. 

We took the bus again on the way back and got back to our rooms.  I have been having difficulty with the wi-fi all night though D'Layna's is working fine and now, I am sitting up in the blue room where was the only place it worked.  Right now, I only hope to publish this before it goes again!  Have a nice night all!
