London - Day 2

Day 2.

In the morning we got up and went to the British Museum and got to have a private lecture on counterfeiting money. We got to hold in our hands one of the oldest coins in existence. Then we saw different forms of money throughout the ages and the different ways people tried to fake 'em. It was really very interesting. We also parts of the British Museum, including the Rosetta Stone, which is very cool.
After that Jim and I went to Picadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. There is a live art exhibit going on in Trafalgar Square where every hour on the hour a different Brit gets to stand on a pillar of 1 hour and do whatever he/she wants to do. When we were there a young man was making paper airplanes and throwing them down to the onlookers. I, of course, made Jim sit there until I could get a paper plane. It didn't take long and I was very happy.
We went back to the dorm and laid low for the rest of the day. The rain just makes us want to sleep.
I am very sleepy. It's midnight and Cap, my new frat boy best friend is making me drink nightly. I will make Jim post soon. He was supposed to today but did homework instead. So dedicated.
