        I might have been more impressed with the crown jewel display if not for the conveyor belt treatment. Didn't really feel like there was enough time to really see and appreciate what was there.

          I appreciated the conveyor belt, it was better than the a-holes who crowd around the Rosetta Stone or Mona Lisa and take 20 pictures of themselves.

          We went over to Buckingham Palace yesterday and happened to see King Charles being driven into the gates right as we were walking up. Lol. Didn't plan on that. We were in the front of the pathway they cleared and were around ten feet away.

          The British Library is underrated. They have one of four copies of the Magna Carta just sitting in a corner of their special collections room, no crowds.

          Amongst other things, they also have the oldest complete version of the Greek New testament in existence, it's from the 3rd century and in absolutely incredible shape. I'm trying to figure out if I read the description wrong.

          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

          • Sorry for uploading twice, some reason can't delete on my phone

            Here's more of the description and it's from the 4th century

                I think Commando has been a few times. He doesn't really post here much anymore, but if he doesn't respond to a private message, I can put you in contact with him.

                    Tell him to knock it off and start posting here again. I miss that guy.

                    • I can see why an immigration lawyer would be reclusive these days. Probably constantly cycling between frustrated, furious, and despondent.

                        Yeah. Most likely scenario.

                          Do you have a tour guide lined up? Look for Cesar with Lamanita travel. Awesome dude and they took good care of us.

                              That is cool.

                              On the vacation theme. I was looking at flights for spring break and was thinking of central america. Tickets are around $200.

                              But my wife wants to probably spend this time with the new grandbaby, so I guess that is out. On a whim I looked at Arched NP and they had campsites for a few nights during that time, so I may be going there for spring break instead. Arches is cool and my youngest kids haven't been there, or at least remember it.

                                You're not thinking of New Mexican Disaster, are you?
