My Visa expires on January 6th, 2011, and since I'll be needing it to get back into the country on the 5th (after a much anticipated 2 weeks at home), I had to get right on it. Glasgow's Home Office didn't have an open slot until November, so I HAD to travel down to London. Score!
Here's some pics of my time at the British Museum in London:
Scarabs! Flashbacks of The Mummy made me recoil at first sight of these critters.
Another Lewis Chessmen Exhibit! The Isle is never too far away :)
This Egyptian game was possibly my favorite discovery in the Museum.
My sisters and I used to play what we thought was a good replica of this game...inspired by the legendary epic The Ten Commandments.
Next time in On This Side of Things- A trip to the most Haunted city in England!

Okay, I am finally taking time to comment! (I'll write you back for real soon too, by the way). I love your pictures and I love your stories and I wish you would post more! Are you still working on your art journal?
I'm so glad you got to visit York. It's a beautiful place! We were there in 2006 and were walking through the Shambles just as the World Cup game England was playing in finished. They won. It was sheer madness in the streets but oh-so-fun!
