Friday

            Today, we made our first visit to the Underground (subway).  We took a ride to the British Museum.  The museum they displayed the Rosetta Stone, ancient Egyptian artifacts, ruins from Greek temples, and wall displays of the Assyrians.  In the afternoon, we took the Underground again out to the RAF Museum.  Coincidentally, our visit was on the 60th Anniversary of the Dambusters raid.
