solipsistnationSo far:
- Hotel nice, especially for the price. Across from a Sainsbury's and Boots, so not bringing any of our own toiletries hasn't been inconvenient at all.
- We have tea and biscuits, bread for toast and marmelade. Breakfast has been quite pleasant.
- We are very close to the British Museum. We made a quick visit this morning (only an hour or two, as it got very crowded very quickly) and we'll be back later this week.
- We then visited the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons, which is the most fascinating collection of stuff in jars I have ever seen. This guy spent his time collecting things and dissecting them in particular ways in order to expose various aspects of anatomy. There's everything from bugs and birds to all kinds of bits of people (including, you know, "bits") and Charles Babbage's Left Hemisphere. (In mathematicians, that would be the more interesting part, I guess.)
- Then a cup of tea and a half-hour nap, and I was quite invigorated.
- Then to Picadilly Circus for conveyor belt sushi, a Lush store, and some Turkish Delight from a confectioner along the way.
- Now back at the hotel thingy, more tea, more BBC, and crashing soon.
Man, I do like London. I don't know why, since it's not entirely like New York City, a place I intensely dislike. Maybe it's just that I'm a total Anglophile. Better tea here, anyway. (Or PG Tips, at least, which is pretty decently functional tea for swilling at leisure. It's about the best teabag tea I've found.)
