A Trip to the British Museum

Elgin Marbles

We had a good time at the British Museum on Saturday. We went in by car, stopping at a Surrey suburb to pick up a scooter for Lily and eat at a wonderfully organized MacDonald’s with balloons and Philipino staff.  We parked at the Hammersmith mall, for 7.50, and got   two adult day Tube passes for about 12 pounds.

The Elgin Marbles are better than I remembered or had thought they would be.  One needs to look at them close up.  The horse manes, the angles of heads, the muscles of the animals– all are striking.

We at The Beebimbop Cafe, which had only two main dishes–chopche and beebimbop (kimchi and watery soup too, and cookies).  It was very good for us. 5 pounds per dish, very quiet and convenient, good service.
