Living in London

Sunday was a quiet day as we had breakfast at our new favorite breakfast spot and then visited two great museums. Most museums in London offer free admission so it is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

The Natural History Museum had the usual assortment of fossils and dinasaurs. The higlight of the visit was an interesting exhibit on hair.

Right around the corner was the Science Museum. As a techie at heart this museum captured my interest with a landing gear assembly of an Airbus 340 in the lobby. Once inside the museum, the first floor is a progression from of the evolution of technology. As you walk from east to west ot the main floor you move from the technology of the late 1700's to the present. It was a joy to stroll through steam engines and early cars to a Cray supercomputere and MRI machines. It is a fascinating world in which we live.
