Egyptian artifacts at the Ft. Lauderdale Museum.

Some of Davincis sketches at Windsor Castle.

Roman Walls at the Museum of London and the Tower of London. I liked being able to touch them. Makes it more personal and helps me really contemplate their sheer age.

Everything at the British Museum. But especially the Sutton Hoo items.

A moon rock at the Smithsonian. I liked touching that as well.

The art/architecture of the Library of Congress. It’s been a long time, so I don’t remember the best part of the building- I want to say it’s the Great Hall.

I just never expected it to be so- grand. It was awesome- totally worth seeing.
