Walking History

Today I met British friend Kyle Skelton at the Holland Park Starbucks where he works. We took the Tube to Tottenham Court and visited the British Museum. The museum is free to the public. Provenance, provenance.....always a vexing question. The British though preserve and display these artifacts beautifully, true treasures.

We had a nice pub lunch and walked back to Notting Hill via Oxford Street, Marble Arch, and Hyde Park.  7.5 mile day.
