Museums featuring old, old stuff

Author:  Brandon (Dad)

Tiffany and I surely won't both write a blog entry every day, but seeing that it's our first full day in Europe, today is worth it.  I won't give the entire play by play, but a few highlights....

1. Livi does not do good on no sleep.  She also gets creeped out by mummies and the remains of 5,000 year old humans.  
2. The British Museum is absolutely incredible.  And free.
3. I saw the Magna Carta.  As an English history buff (yeah, I said buff) this was extremely cool.
4. Tiffany thought she saw a guy that looked like my friend Dieter.  He didn't.
5. British pubs are the best.  They try to recreate them in the States, but they're not the same.
6. The Hampstead area is fantastic.
7. Luke and Livi are far more addicted to Farmville than I thought possible when I casually introduced the game to them yesterday.  
8. Wandering the streets of Central London is just about my favorite thing in the world to do.  There's a unique smell in London.  The locals would probably tell me it's garbage or something, but I love it.
9. We went to see Big Ben, but it's covered in scaffolding and completely invisible.  Not as impressive as the other way.
10. I found a beer called John Smith's at Tesco and I bought a four-pack of it because it shares its name with my uncle.  It's not very good beer.
11. We walked 12 miles today.  

Going to Westminster Abbey tomorrow.  Later dudes.
