The British Museum

---

Today I went to the British Museum in London for my art history class. First I walked around London with my friends Justine and Monica and had tea and a chocolate croissant at a cute cafe. We then went to the British Museum where our teacher gave us a tour of the Geek sculptures that we learned about in class which was cool. After that we walked around the Egyptian exhibit and I saw coffins with mummies and there was a basket with a skeleton in the fetal position and a box with a skeleton as well, and there was also a well reserved body with the muscles still attached. After that we headed to the meeting point at Cleopatra's Needle and stopped at Covent Garden along the way which had a lot of cool shops and where I will have to go back to. And then we rode the bus back, ate dinner, and that is all for today.
