Day 9 london

 We met up with some of John and kims friends who are stationed in England today.  Bought the boys stomp tickets then Dan and I  headed to the British Museum.  

 rosetta stone.  so freaking cool!!!

We started off in the ancient greek area.  We saw they  Rosetta stone.  It is what helped people translate hieroglyphics  it was so cool to see it
 um.....  that is CLEOPATRA!!!!

 lots of mummies
 this chick was buried in 6000 bc after being made a mummy I thought the whole process is very interesting and how well it preserves the body.
  she still has all her hair and skin
 this dude was buried 250 years ago in a wooden box...see the difference?
 another who was mummified

  That afternoon the boys wet to stomp ( performance where they use anything to make music with mainly percussion noises  even with pipes and trash  dan said it was  so cool.  I am sure how it would be so cool but,  I am very glad he liked it.
 
The girls and I went shopping. Those darn pounds make you feel like you are spending less but really is it says 10 pounds it is actually $15.   It was fun!

  

   That was our last night here we found a chipotle and I was so excited to eat there London had crappy food.  That was super yummy though we actually ate both lunch and dinner there only hours apart. I was hoping the workers did not recognize us.

I've loved seeing all of your pics and hearing about your trip. I lived in paris for a summer when i was 17 and we went into england and all over france so it's been really fun looking at your pics and remembering the old days. You look fabulous and i'm glad you've had a fun time.
