Museum Steps


Red Children

We were in London on Monday. Today is Friday and we’re home. It’s good to be back.

We walked from The British Library to The British Museum. This stretch is described as The Museum Mile, though it felt more like three or four than one. Using the Force — which is not as strong in foreign countries, I have to admit — I walked us from the Library, down Euston Road, then left onto Gower Street. It was only a few blocks, but our route took us through the city campus of the Univesity College of London. Walks become much longer when you’re avoiding oncoming students and breathing diesel from passing taxis.

Once we got to the Museum, it only made sense to rest outside. My little reward was getting this photo of some kids in red on the front steps.
