| US Embassy in London--no demonstrators!--we had to get something notarized (it's a long story) and also have additional pages pasted into our passports |
 |
| Nice statue of Ike outside the Embassy |
 |
| Selfridge's, very large London department store |
 |
Finishing up with another visit to the British Museum; an Egyptian tour |
 |
The Flood and Noah story, from the Gilgamesh Epic, book 13 |
 |
| Babylonian tablet letter and envelope (seriously) |
 |
| A new exhibit, the Staffordshire Hoard, just found in July, one of the largest British gold hoard finds to date; we are seriously reconsidering our decision not to buy a metal detector |
 |
You can never have enough hand axes, I always say |
 |
| I don't think it's a chain, yet |
We did lots of other things in London, not least lunch with Rebecca's friend and former colleague Anne, shopping around Covent Garden and Regent Street (well, looking...), and, the last few days, wondering why it was we were going to leave this wonderful city.
