Had to talk about tea

I love tea. I really do. This is a recent obsession, not one that I grew up with as a child. It partly has to do with that I can't drink coffee anymore and my roommate in undergrad drank tea like it was water. I was very excited to go to English tea at the the British Museum. I love the idea of tea because like the Spanish siesta, its a planned break (and a snack!) which does not exist at all in the States. I mean, it can definitely get very fancy, like ours did, but it can also be a simply cup and a couple of cookies and chance to rest. Sounds great to me.

British Museum

This morning was the third time I've been to the British Museum and I don't feel as though I've seen anymore than the first time. The British Museum is massive. Today I only got through half of the second floor, basically Europe. I was pretty obsessed with the clocks because if the miniature mechanics so I spent a good 45 min wandering through that room. The Clock room is only a small part of the Museum's collection; they have collections on Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe and lots of little, unique exhibits.
The British Museum is Massive! But Tara loves it anyway.
