We got an early start Friday morning and were at the British Museum when http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifit opened. The Museum has excellent multimedia tours for kids, with a separate commentary at each object for adults. We did the Roman Britain (my favorite), Africa, and Middle East tours. M found an owl carving at the gift shop. The owl was based on an Athenian coin and we were able to locate the coin in the money exhibit.
On Saturday 23 July, we went to Greenwich, as M wrote, and on Sunday we headed back to Derry. On both days, we also fit in short trips to the Princess of Wales memorial playground in Kensington Gardens. Yesterday and today have been pretty quiet. But tomorrow night we are going to see the US U-18 soccer team play Mexico in the Northern Ireland Milk Cup. What luck to be able to see the US National team... while we're in Northern Ireland!
