KaiYves reports from Athens, Greece, where she is on an archaeological dig:
Today, Gimanator took time out from his whirlwind tour of Europe to hang out with me at the Acropolis Museum here in Athens. I was pretty tired from digging this morning, so I don’t know how coherent I was, but I tried to be a good tour guide and intelligently discuss art, politics, and the ethics of museology. We took this photo outside of the museum.
Also attached is a photo of a pin of Urania that I saw at the Hard Rock Cafe earlier in the day. I didn’t know she had dyed her hair.
A report of our observations for the Kokonspiracy file on a possible heist of the British Museum’s Parthenon statuary will be submitted according to procedure S-39b.
Wow! Look at you!
(That’s spanakopita.)
Yum!
Wow, very cool!
… and here to confirm! KaiYves showed herself to be a stellar guide; she may not have known it, but she answered at least 80% of the questions I had stacked up from previous museums before I could even ask them! Being the newcomer to archaeology that I am, I was mostly just doing my best to keep up. That said, she had a complete (and clear) itinerary set with all the best stops in the museum – complete with clarifications at the more muddled ones. It doesn’t get much better than hearing someone talk about the subject they love. A perfect capstone to my stay in Athens!
Aw shucks…
