Today we started out with a little shoe shopping for Vera to cure some very sore feet, plus made a short stop at an upscale department store that happens to carry their own brand of fabric. We made our way from Piccadilly Circus to Oxford Circus, not unlike walking down 5th Avenue in New York City. The new shoes are helping a little, and the fabric store gave Vera a chance to pick up a small amount of quilting fabric.
It was then off to the British Museum. Both our feet were starting to hurt, so we stayed for only a few hours, viewing artifacts from ancient civilizations in Egypt, The Sudan, Syria, Iraq and Iran. Good thing some of that stuff isn't over there right now. We'll be back tomorrow, feet willing. The place is a must see! And, of course, free.

Artifacts from ancient Syria/Iraq, I think.
From ancient Egypt.
A massive collection, wherever it's from.
