When I began my math-related travels back in 2016, I worked hard each day to keep up with my blogging. This sometimes kept me up until 2am. Seven years on, I no longer hold myself to that exhausting regimine, but now I've let 5 months go by without blogging even once about my most recent math travels! And I'm leaving in less than three weeks for my next expedition, so I guess I'd better start posting. This is my Math Sab
Plus blog, so it's not all math; in fact it's quite a lot of other stuff, but I try to tie in the math history.

I stayed at the Mentone Hotel because it was located between the British Museum and the British Library. The purpose of my travels is always that of study, so the location was excellent. I got in on a Friday night, which is the one night of the week that the British Museum is open "late," so after picking up a few things at the Tesco Express just outside the Russel Street tube station and dropping off my luggage, I ran right over to the British Museum. (I don't like to waste a minute of my travels.

As usual, the first thing I wanted to see was the Rosetta Stone. As usual, that's what everyone else wanted to see too!

But, with some patience, a clear shot is possible.

I felt good about how much I was able to take in on that first evening, and then I had the treat of a beautiful walk back to the hotel on a spring evening.
