On our third day in London, we relaxed a bit and slept in.  In the afternoon, we did some more sightseeing, stopping for a moment at Trafalgar Square.  While it was pretty impressive, it was also surprising how many pigeons there were there.

From there, we went on to the British Museum.  The museum is really beautiful.  When you enter the main hall, it is very bright and airy.

The biggest attraction in the museum is definitely the Rosetta Stone.  The Rosetta Stone contained a passage in both Egyptian and Greek, and it was the key to people first being able to decipher hieroglyphics.
