Day 4- The Bukowski Art Army and the British Museum. The British Museum is the most popular attraction in London, hard to believe, but that is what the recent guide books say. Our hotel was about 2 blocks from the entrance to the British Museum. What a great place to see world history! We started with the Elgin Marbles and enjoyed the great Greek sculpture without crowds. Actually we also made it through the Assyrian relief sculptures without any trouble, but the Egyptian works were a nightmare! The crowds were unbelievable! First we looked at the Rosetta Stone and the noise and crowds were like the subway at rush hour. We also tried the second floor for Egyptian, but it was completely at a standstill- like cars on the interstate stopped. It is a free event, so everyone in London seemed to be at the Egyptian exhibitions. Still we enjoyed what we could.
Later that day our students went to a production at the Globe Theater- Much Ado About Nothing and a group of adults went to Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club.
