Marker's European Adventure 2022

  We didn't leave England on the best note. I was kind of upset by something that happened between Mialee and I that morning, so I was rather unhappy. We went to Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guard and tour it (as the queen was out of residence), but I found it hard to enjoy because of my sorrow.

This includes things from Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Viking Scandinavia, Pre-Colonial Polynesia, and Medieval Europe, plus more. Notable things include the Bust of Ramses and the Rosetta Stone, as well as some actual mummies. There w...
