We two travelers to the British Museum saw many vast and legless visages perched on pedestals this day. Most came from places where lone and level sands stretched far away— Egypt, Assyria, Iraq. We said, “Let’s spend as much time as we want! We have all day.”
Apologies to the poet Shelly, as my parody fizzles here. Yet our visit lasted a few hours— with breaks to sit between exhibits. We saw Rosetta again. Also great, big Assyrian beastie statues.
Ramses has a nice face, I think. So does my hubby.
Alas, museum-walking is tiring, and we thought we did the place justice, so we trekked back to our hotel.
Tomorrow we tour St Paul’s cathedral and then meet our people for some Shakespeare.
Oh, BTW! The sun came out today.
We smiled at your comments!
Love all the fun stories!!!
