Last day in London

It was our last day in London today. Kind of sad but ready to move on.

We went to the British Museum and I personally was very torn about the experience. They have some AMAZING artifacts - from ALL over the world. The sad part is very many, like … the majority, were “stolen” from those countries while being colonized or invaded centuries ago. Many of those countries are now asking for their artifacts back, and England is refusing to return them. So with that knowledge, it made me somewhat uncomfortable as I viewed amazing things from Egypt, Asia, China, Africa, Mexico and even some things from the United States and Canada. There’s a saying … if the British were to give back the stolen items, there would be no museum left - and after viewing it, sadly I agree.

After that we headed to the Tower of London and had a nice tour there to end our time in London.

We’re off to Paris tomorrow - high speed train under the English Channel. Should be an experience.
