"Only the old and ugly ones!" answers Arturo.
Rosa is not happy with him.
"Well, this is my afternoon and Im going to do what I want. First, I want to look at the Egyptian mummies in the museum. Theyre very old and ugly and theyre waiting for you!"
The two young students spend an hour in the museum and then buy picture postcards to send to their friends.
"We needat least a week to visit such a big museum. One hour isnt enough!" says Arturo.
"You can stay here a week," answers Rosa, "but Im going to two bookshops. One is near London University just north of the museum and the other is a little way south in Charing Cross Road. Are you coming with me?"
"Yes," says Arturo, "but later Id like to go to the big music stores in Oxford Street to look for CDs."
"If you are patient for the next hour, we can go there later."
Arturo is not very patient. He also wants to look at the computer shops in Tottenham Court Road. He arranges to meet Rosa in the Psychology Department of the first bookshop at five oclock.
Rosa likes the bookshop near the university, but she is looking for a particular book about Piaget (é), the Swiss psychologist. She cannot find it in the first shop. Arturo returns ten minutes early. The new super-computers are interesting, but much too expensive.
