Here's to another day ...

I was up early this morning and uploaded the pictures we took from yesterday’s outing. We visited the Bristish Museum and was quite overwhelmed by the exhibit. Alexander, as usual had plenty of questions. His interest was amazing, but it waned towards the end of our visit.

This season’s main exhibit at the British Museum is about the Myth and Reality of Babylon. It also showcased its most unusual find of mummies, burial rituals, jewelry, armory, pottery and sanskrit writings. The collection of money used during the early years were also interesting, and the clock exhibit is also quite unique. It was a very impressive collection and would make one wonder what was it really like living in those age and time. I know I did wonder, and so did Alexander. “How do they take a shower?”, he asked.

Having some more time to spare, we opted to return to the Science Museum, simply because Alexander would like to spend more time playing in the museum’s Energy exhibit - an interactive play area for kids teaching them the importance of energy and electricity. And to cap our day out, we went to see another IMAX 3D film called Space Station. After the film, Alexander declared: “I will be an astronaut when I grow up!”.

Don’t worry, he changes his mind every single day. Just the other day, he wants to be a fireman. And the day before, he wants to be a street musician. And day before that, he wants to be a policeman. And so on, and on, and on ….
