Today was an awesome day it was sunny and warm. I visited my favorite place yet the Hunterian Museum of Surgery in the Royal College of Surgeons and Sir John Soane's Museum. The Hunterian Museum though is not the place for the squeamish.

The frist place I went was Sir Johns Soane's Museum. It was one house that the contracter Sir John Soane had bought and then decided he was going to buy the houses on either side of the house also. Then Sir John Soane decided to reconstruct it completely. The house is many stories high and has one spiral staircase that goes from the bottom floor to the ceiling. There are a lot of statues hung on the walls and gorgeous paintings too. In the end though Sir John Soane died in an insane asylum so I guess he was kind of crazy.

Next I went to my favorite place so far the Hunterian Museum of Surgery. If you like science, bones, and studying organs of animals and humans you will like this place. A couple of examples are they have a giant, now I am 5'7" and I came up to his pelvis bone, and he was roughly supposed to be 7'7". Also the coolest thing I thought that was there was a six week old fetus that was roughly an inch. The coolest thing is that you could see the nose, eye socket, legs with little attached feet now the arm was a little knub, but the best part was you could see the ribs and count them one by one. I think this is a very cool thing to go to if you like what I have stated before.

Well I will let you know what I am doing tomorrow. Keep checking in and come and send me a post.
