May 2, 2007 - London
My work sent me to London and I had an afternoon to do a little sightseeing.  My first stop was the British Museum.  
The famous Rosetta Stone, which enabled the reading of Egyptian hieroglyphics. 
I believe this is an Assyrian statue. 
P4
Aphrodite.
The Parthenon Sculptures. 
Ramesses II.
Assyrian stone carvings of a lion hunt.  These go back to around 850 BC. 
Bust of Julius Caesar. 
My first look at the Thames River.  London was enjoying some great weather today. 
Greatest Admiral in world history:  Horatio Nelson.  
Trafalgar Square.
The Old Admiralty Building.

"From here the worldwide affairs of the Royal Navy were run for centuries by 'The Lord Commissioners of the Admiralty'."
Downing Street.  I think a new Prime Minister is moving into #10 in a few days. 
Big Ben and the Parliament Building. 
The other end of the parliament building. 
Westminster Abbey
Buckingham Palace
