Maria and I went to the Eternal Egypt exhibit yesterday. Our many thanks to Norris to getting us into the show and giving us the audio guide. It really was a great show. The Egyptian art really took you back and made you wonder who it was that carved the piece, who had done the painting, what they looked like, when they died, etc. And that spooky music on the audio guide just made it that much better! My favorite piece was that of Mentuhotep II, who reunited Egypt under a strong central government. There was a sculpture of his head that was so lifelike, I could almost see him talking and breathing...

So thanks again Norris, we had a great time!
