I saw this in the British Museum and also the Code Of Hammurabi just a few days before that in The Louvre. I’m a museum nut wherever I travel, focused mostly on ancient cultures.

The Elgin Marbles (the surviving frieze of The Parthenon) just blew my head off. My wife had to yank me out by my hair after an hour.

I can’t even begin to describe visiting the British Museum, The British War Museum, and The Louvre in the same week. Our feet were like bloody pegs, but oh the dreams I had.

That sounds fantastic. You are a museum visitor who truly appreciates those displays.

I hope that the situation in Egypt calms down, for you would find the Cairo museum also very wonderful to visit.

Wow, sounds wonderful, I would love to do that some day. Are we still allowed to dream or has the EPA designated that as "Mind pollution" yet?
