The British Museum

After a late flight departure from Dallas, we arrived at London Heathrow later than anticipated.  This made us rethink our original plans of what to see during our layover. One group  hired a taxi to go into central London to see sights such as Westminster Abbey.  Having seen many of the traditional tourist sights of London while here in 1982, I opted to go with the second group heading to the world famous British Museum.  With only 90 minutes at the museum, our exhibit hall time was limited.  The four of us: David Peck, David Pulsipher, Devan Barker, and myself mainly focused on the Assyrian Empire and India exhibits.  As with any major museum, a 90 minute "visit" was not a proper visit.  The taxi ride back to Heathrow was much quicker than the ride into town.  Getting through security was very fast and now it's a seven-and-a half hour flight to New Dehli.  We are scheduled to arrive at 6:30 in the morning India time.  Time to get some sleep on the plane because when we get to New Delhi, we hit the ground running.
