British Library & British Museum

I met up with Ilja today to go to the city. At first we weren't sure where to go and what to do, but in the end we went to the British Library and the British museum (both free!). The British Library has some cool stuff like the Magna Carta, one of Shakespeare's first Folios and Lenin's library card application. We couldn't spent much time at the British Museum, as they were closing soon, but we managed to see some great Egyptian, Greek and Assyrian artifacts, plus the Easter Island stone head.
