London Day 2!!
We finished up our time in London by heading out to the stadium where Chelsea FC plays. I was so excited since that's my favorite English soccer team. I got to see the stadium and we checked out the store where I found some really cool stuff! After that we headed up to the British Museum where we saw the most amazing things. We spent hours in this museum, and saw artifacts from so many cultures. The Egyptian, Assyrian and Greco-Artifacts were my favorites! They had the Rosetta Stone, winged lions from Assyria, and statues from Greece and Rome. Some of the things were from 2000BC! I also got to see mummies, and the Lindow Man, the mummified man from the peat bogs of England that I remember reading about when I was in 1st or 2nd grade. It was one of our favorite places in London! We went back to our hotel and I made sure to make a stop at M&S for some of their amazing shortbread, and then on to dinner at "our" restaurant down the street. We found out that one of our favorite waiters was from Latvia, and he made a sad face when he found out we were leaving the next day. I also said goodbye to my favorite Italian waiter, Modica (who, btw gave me his phone number), and we went home. We took the train to Paris this morning and just arrived. We're about to head out and see the city. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
