March 6, 2001
Acclimating to European time. Staying in our typical haunt close to the British Museum.
Today’s adventures took us through the Great Court at the British Museum. They have completed the wave-shaped roof that now encloses the courtyard and the Reading Room. The result is bright and airy, enhanced by the sunshine on a day like today.
The clear-ish weather made for a stunning ride on the London Eye, the giant Ferris Wheel set up on the banks of the Thames across from Parliament. Last time we visited tickets were almost impossible to get, so we learned to reserve in advance. The cars on the London Eye are like over sized glass eggs, each able to hold about 20 people. It was designed as part of the Millennium celebrations as a symbol of time: a wheel incessantly turning. It was discovered, however, that it is difficult to load and unload a constantly moving contraption. For this reason, time stops at regular intervals.
