We avoided the U.S. flu only to be laid low by the London crud. Today Nancy is
keeping Oslo the cat company and I am visiting St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Although the location of St. Paul’s Cathedral has been a place of worship for over
1400 years today’s Cathedral is only 308 years old being completed in 1710. This
church is Christopher Wren’s most famous church design – he and his office is given
credit for designing and building 52 churches after the Great Fire in 1666.

The first church was destroyed by fire in 675, the Vikings destroyed the second
church in 962, the third church was again destroyed by fire in 1087 and the fourth
church was destroyed by The Great London Fire in 1666.

Knowing we wouldn’t see everything we hadn’t already seen we immediately
headed to the staircase and the second floor. No time to waste when this may be the
last day we have to roam the British Museum.

Damn, the staircase walls are covered by beautiful mosaics. Some of them are made
to look like rugs and they look so real you want to reach out touch them. OK, we
have climbed a lot of stairs in the last 20 months but none as slow as these and if we
weren’t in a hurry we would have climbed even slower.

As we cut through several galleries to get to the Oxus treasures (modern day Iraq)
every once in a while something would catch one or both of our attention.
