My Journey

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!!!"

King tut and gold age of pharos

After a week of depression, anxiety over work and family issues, I took last Friday off to go see king Tut exhibition with my girl friends.
Overall, it was a good exhibition, considering it’s a traveling exhibit. It covers a large span of Egyptian history. The stone work from some of the other collections is astoundingly beautiful, and the artistry is exceptional. However, the King Tut room, was disappointing. All of the advertising for this showing includes a photograph of the famous gold Tut head piece, which was not included in the collection. There were NO large gold pieces at all. There are no sarcophagi because Tut and his death mask do not leave Egypt.

But that's ok, afterall i enjoyed my day out with my girlfriends and I was happy and smiling at the end of the day... :-)
