British Museum and BBQ

On Saturday morning we went down to the British Museum for a Bible Tour. They are run by Witnesses, you can check out the details at the Meander Travel website. We met in the foyer area, there were around 30-40 other Witnesses there waiting, and we were all dressed up of course. As a result of our busy hectic schedule mixed with some procrastination we forgot to book one of the tours during the week; instead we just showed up and hoped for extra space. Fortunately for us there was, we were included in once of the 5 tours operating that morning. Our group had a nice family from California, some Canadian brothers and sisters, some from Germany, a group of Swedes, and a Australian group. We were on the "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize" tour, which focused on the ancient Roman Olympic and Gladiatorial games. We were led to different artifacts in the museum, and then our guide read a scripture and linked them together. (It was basically an interactive talk and instead of just explaining the scriptures there were objects that made it come to life. -Eric) The stories and situations were amazing, and it made the scriptures makes so much sense. We all had radios with earpieces, so the tour guide could talk naturally and all could hear. The tour lasted about 45 minutes and cost £4.Overall, it was a great experience and I can't recommend it enough. Afterwards we went down to the Strand to find a store we wanted to go back in, but it was closed, so we went over to up to Trafalgar Square and over to Leicester Square. We then walked up Long Acre road to Covent Garden and watched the street performers for awhile. The environment was fun and the performances entertaining, but I would recommend not coming on Saturday to avoid the crowds. (I personally love the crowds so if your like me i would recommend Saturdays. Often central London is very crowded too so its been lots of fun for me. -Eric) We then went up to Oxford Street once again because we needed to exchange an item, (and yet again we bought more clothes. -Eric) and finally took the tube home late in the afternoon. We had been invited to dinner for the evening, so we went to the store to buy a bottle of wine. Wow, that was a little overwhelming, way too many choices, but we finally settled on some Cabernet Sauvignon. After arriving home we had just enough time to breathe once, and then we were out again. We walked to Michael and Mercy's house, and supervised Michael's grilling ability. Eric had requested an African food, so there was also a dish that we ate with our hands. (Literally using only your hands. -Eric) After dinner we all watched a movie, (The first one to guess which movie we watched wins a prize! Post your answers in the comments section please. -Eric) and then it was time for pictures and time to go home.
