On the 31st- last day of the decade, Pete and I were sent off by ourselvs (mom had to put up with us at a hotel and then a 10+ hr plane ride) and we decided to explore free london. We started off with the good ol' British museuem which was packed with those damn tourists (having an actual place to stay has turned us snobby) As we explored many memories came back to us from our previous travels, including the amazing rosetta stone which we had actually forgotten was there.
After this, we went to the imperial war museuem which, in my opinion, hardly mentioned the contributions of the US. in particular- The Lend-Lease Act, The Candy Bomber, Wilson and the 14 points to name a few. Sure it's a Brit museuem but as a history major I had a problem with some of these major points. al those aside Pete and I had a jam-packed day to end the decade and our new years eve will be discussed in the next post- now that weve finally sobered up....

Museum, Jim, museum! Sorry the IMPERIAL War Museum let you down as far as US history goes, but that's history for you - it's all in the eye of the beholder!
