Science Museum

I've been going to the Ice Skating rink a few times to work on my project, and when I need to escape from the cold I head into the Natural History Museum or the Science museum.
Here are a few pictures from the Science Museum-I still have a lot to look at there .

Natural History Museum

I've been busy finishing up my classes, and working hard on the Arts London News  ...but I'm doing a photo story on the Ice Rink set up next to the Natural History museum, so when I get too cold, I've been heading into the Natural History Museum. It is nice to visit it many times, so I don't feel rushed through the whole museum. Really enjoyed the Dinosaur exhibit-quite fascinating. The science museum is right next door as well-so I'll be checking that out soon.

Neat entrance area-get to ride the escalator into the "center of the Earth"

Moon rock! (not sure why its in a pyramid?)

Older part of the building-beautiful

skeleton of a baby monkey thing

Athens Part 5! - Day 2

This is day 2-started with the street market, and then made my way down to a town by the water. 

messy antique stand at the street market 

Typical style of the apartment buildings. They almost all had balconies and awnings
