Today is our unscheduled day. We went to the British Museum. They have a bit of everything, from every when!
I compared notes with a British Bear.
The hunk of stone is called the Rosetta Stone. It was the key to understanding Egyptian hieroglyphs. It has the same text in three languages, which scholars were able to break the "code" of the lost language of the Egyptians.
The Rosetta Stone was really old technology, and driving along the street was a Google street view camera car. How is that for old and new technologies?
Tonight is our event closing ceremony. Tomorrow is sort of a bonus day on our own. Saturday the journey home begins.
