I made it to the British Museum

I have to be honest, the trains and tube stations scared the heck out out me. I wasn't worried about getting places, it was more just not knowing what I was doing. And everyone else seemed to know how the system worked. It's unnerving standing in a crowded building when you have no idea what you need to do.

I decided today I would master the train station. All in all, not a bad way to travel. Once I figured out the whole ticket process, it was easy. Everything is marked really well and it's relaxing to just sit and people watch. I took the train to Waterloo, then the tube to Tottenham Court Road. Then a short walk to the British Museum.

Th British Museum is one of the coolest places I've been too. But it's kind of a sad place as well. Things like the Rosetta stone, the Assyrian art, and the Caryatid should be in their home countries. Today I think I saw more works of art from the Acropolis than I saw when I was at the Acropolis. That realization was sad for me.

That said, the selfish part of me is happy to have all of these treasures so close. I know I will be going back, as I did not see everything I wanted to see. There is just too much to see in one day.
