Well well well...
Let's go back in a time a bit and talk about what has happened these past few days.
Thursday:
Spent most of my day at the museum, taking notes, etc etc... I really like the way they have it set up. Currently there is a temporary exhibit called "Last Exit Munich" which displays important pieces from Berlin (which is currently closed) paired with similar pieces from Munich. So I didn't even have to go to Berlin to see some of the cool stuff they have!
After that I started feeling pretty lonely and wasn't sure I liked the city that much. I walked around for a bit and went to the opera to see if I could get a ticket to the sold-out show of Othello.
I did - an 11 euro ticket that some lady was selling out front. Unfortunately, since I can't read German, I did not realize that this was a standing spot at the very top balcony where you can see absolutely nothing of the stage (hence the low price...I should have known!). I stayed for about half of it but it was not enjoyable at all since I couldn't see anything and standing for 3 hours would have been unbearable.
So I left that and walked around on a hunt for some food. I found a nice little Italian restaurant...and choosing it may have been the best decision of the summer!
There was only one table free outside and another girl who was by herself had asked to be seated as well. The waiter asked us if we would mind sitting together...why not?
This girl, Valeria, happened to be the sweetest person ever! She had missed her flight back to Barcelona and we were both glad she did by the end of the evening because we had such a great time! We had a great dinner and it felt like we had known each other forever!
We decided to go find something to do so we went to the oldest beer garden in Munich and sat down with some nice-looking people who turned out to be from Dubai. Turns out they were kinda boring and talked amongst themselves, but the people from the table next to us started talking to us and we ended up hanging out with them instead. These dudes were ridiculously entertaining! We ended the evening in a McDonalds ('cause that's what cool kids do) and then went our separate ways.
Friday:
In the morning went back to the museum and then did some shopping (I know...this addiction to clothes absolutely needs to come to an end. I'm coming back to the States with an entirely new wardrobe and I have no idea where I'm going to put it all!). I then checked out of my hotel and left Munich for Holzkirchen, a little town about 30 minutes away where I stayed (and still am staying) with my mom's friend. What a cuuuuuuute little town with a wonderful view of the Alps! ah!
Then I got an email from Valeria saying she was still in Munich!! (She was supposed to have left for Barcelona). I absolutely wanted to see her again, so I took the train back and we met up for some dinner! We ate at this really traditional restaurant with great decor. Next to our table was this guy just eating alone...and knowing how lonely it can be to eat alone, we invited him over to our table! His name was Marcus, an Austrian dude studying in the UK with perfect English and a great sense of humor! We had a wonderful dinner and then went to a beer garden to finish the evening..where we met up with John, the waiter from the restaurant from the night before.
Here we indulged in some traditional German desserts (the names of which I have already forgotten and are far too difficult to spell, but I'll try later).
After that we were not ready to part, so we went to discover the reaaaaal night life of Munich. Instead of having clubs spread out throughout the city, there is an entire district with just that! (agh, dream land basically!). The first club we found was awful though, we were basically the only ones there and we were supposed to get a free drink with our entrance fee but when we got to the bar they said free drinks ended at 1am (it was 1:03 am)...grrrr
We quickly left there and headed to a much better one where we dance allll night!
Saying goodbye was very difficult :(
Saturday: Slept most of the morning/early afternoon to recover from the afore mentioned night. In the afternoon, went swimming in a lake near the Alps with Bella. AMMMAAAAZZZIIINNNNGGGGG. I can't even describe to you the beauty of that landscape and the pictures just don't do it justice. The water was at first rather cold, but once you got used to it, it was fantastic. Then we visited another cute little town where we had some ice cream and walked around.
In the evening, we were invited to a barbecue at Bella's friends'. Boy do they know how to barbecue! The food was delicious :)
Today: Discovered the English Gardens here...a jewel within the city of Munich! It's not at all what you'd imagine...it's almost like going into the woods, a complete escape from the city! There's even a wave for surfers...a great spectacle for onlookers!
An even greater spectacle is that of the sunbathers on the lawn...completely nude! Quite normal of course, since nudity is not a problem here in Europe. However, most of the nudies are comprised of the older male generation that are not so pleasing to the eyes :P Well..maybe to some yes, but not mine.
Anyhoooooo, we then had a delicious traditional lunch of sausage, roasted chicken, and fries at this Chinese Tower place in the middle of the gardens. We were serenated by traditional Bavarian music played by gents in Leder Hosen...'twas lovely.
Then we had coffee at the modern art museum, also lovely.
Bella and Christoph headed back while I stayed in Munich to meet up with John-the-Waiter. We hung out for a while and had some pizza....where I learned a valuable language lesson. Here in Germany, if you would like a pepperoni pizza, do not ask for "pepperoni"...you must ask for "salami" pizza. If, like me, you ask for pepperoni pizza, you will find yourself eating "pepper" pizza...topped with chilli and banana peppers...hmmm
Am now back in Holzkirchen (yes, I copied and pasted that because there is no way I will remember how to spell it...not to mention pronounce it). Tomorrow I leave for Nürnberg where I'll meet up with my parents who are driving over from France! I am excited about the castles :)
Lots of pictures: here and here
I'll work on embedding the pictures in the text later...for now, sleep!

wiener schnitzel
Today was quite an eventful day.
In the morning, went to the Egyptian Museum for my appointment with the director. Unfortunately, she got sick and wasn't able to meet with me. This was a bit of a downer since this means I could have stayed longer in Normandy....*sigh*. Oh well.
Still, the assistant there was super nice and took a lot of time to show me around and answer my questions. I was even able to attend a workshop for school kids which was rather interesting. (However, I felt like a total dwarf because these little 11 and 12 year olds were a whole foot taller than me!). Unfortunately, no pictures of the museum because they are not allowed.
After that we went to lunch and it was really nice! She's half French like me!
We went to this superb Thai restaurant and I had some excellent chicken.
After that I went and wandered around the city a bit. I then met up with my mom's host sisters from when she came to Germany when she was in high school. They are both adorably nice and it was lovely to have people who knew the area and the language to show me around! We walked around for quite a bit and then sat down at a nice restaurant where I ate a delicious salad with warm goat cheese...mmmmmmmm!
Once again, blogger isn't able to upload my pictures, so most of them are up on Facebook for your viewing pleasure: here

willkommen!
My little escape to Normandy has unfortunately come to an end....but my time there was fantastic! I will post some pictures on Facebook for you all to see.
But for now, I'll concentrate on my arrival to Munich!
Took my flight this afternoon and had 3 seats to myself! Woohoo! (Gotta love Air France) and found my way easily enough to my hotel.
Speaking of my hotel...my room is probably one of the bigger ones I've had yet! Feels good to have some space! The people at the reception desk are very friendly and so far all is great (including free wifi!).
Went wandering to hunt for some food and my map-reading skills failed me once again and I walked in the wrong direction for a good 20 minutes before realizing it (this is really becoming a problem...). So I turned around and found my way to Marienplatz, probably Munich's most famous plaza. Quite beautiful indeed.
By this point I was starving and wanted to indulge in some German food, so I sat down at what looked like a cute little restaurant (perhaps too touristy...which was the problem).
I ordered "traditional roasted pork with potato dumplings"...
Well...the pork was alright I suppose...but the potato dumplings were quite unpleasant. But hey, at least I tried something new and now know that I do not enjoy potato dumplings!
I am now chilling out at my hotel getting ready to go to bed because tomorrow will be a big day! I'm pretty excited though, I have a meeting with the director of the Egyptian Museum here! How cool is that? I'm kinda nervous too, but hopefully all will go well.
I will add photos later because the pictures aren't uploading for some reason. Sorry!

Toodle loo to London!
Alright ladies and gents, the end of my stay in London has arrived!
What's been happening these past few days, you ask?
Welllll, mostly, a LOT of work at the British Museum. I probably have spent more time there than most other museums (perhaps besides the Louvre) since there is so much to see and you have to go through a lot of crowds to see things (this adds a considerable amount of time to the research! But it's a good thing, it means people like the galleries!).
On the 16th, I had a full day of museum visiting! First I went to the Sir John Soane's Museum which contains the sarcophagus of Seti I (very cool!) and a few other objects. This was an interesting museum because it's a house museum and everything is still the way it was set up years and years ago.
Then I went to the Petrie Museum which has a LOT of stuff and displays pretty much allll of it! Since it is a university museum, it is much more geared towards a more academic audience and just puts everything out there for you to see and study. Very interesting!
Next, went back to the British Museum and continued observing there!
On the 17th, I had a meeting with one of the curators of the British Museum and that was absolutely fantastic. He had fascinating things to say about the Nebamun gallery. I even got to see the BM's storage! Yay! So wonderful (considering so many things just don't have space to be on view!). Also got to see the papyrus collection and that was outstanding!
Then I met with an interpretations officer - someone who studies how visitors react to the galleries, helps prepare the labels, etc...this was extremely insightful for my project!
And then I wandered over to the Mesoamerican galleries and saw Lady Xoc! Woohoo!
Dinner:
Today: went back to the British Museum one final time *sniffle* and took some last pictures and made some last observations. I got there early enough so that it wasn't too too crowded which was nice!
Then I went to the Portobello Market, but this was wayyyy too crowded so I ran away to Camden Town which is probably one of my favorite places in London.
Some final notes about London:
- I'm still not a huge fan of the city...it just feels too much like NYC (although still better) and too crowded. I guess I just don't like big big cities.
- The pollution here is really hitting me hard! I've gotten some crazy allergies to stuff and when you get home at night and wash your face...you can't imagine how black the towel turns!
- On a very positive note, however, the Underground Tube and Bus system is absolutely outstanding and probably the best in Europe. I give it 5 thumbs up! It is so easy to use, accessible, not complicated, and clean! I really loved using it and found it so non-stressful!
- The British accent is awesome.
Now I am preparing for my departure to...Normandy! Our little house in Quinéville does not have internet access (or a phone for now...). There is also a long standing rule that a TV will never be placed in it since it is a place for vacation and not for watching TV.
This means no updates for about a week!
I am very much looking forward to this nice little break, I'm starting to get really exhausted from all of this traveling! It does take a toll on your body! So I'm off to relax under the Normandy sun!

Finishing up Rome
Ok folks...I'm seriously going to try and get up to date with all the Rome happenings before it fades from my memory!
On July 8th - Saw Trajan's Forum and his column. It's amazing that all of this stuff is still there, right next to the modern buildings! People just walk by without even noticing it seems!
Visited the Piazza di Spagna (quite beautiful).
Then worked on my notes and all that jazz back at my hotel.
Later, met up with some Italian friends I had met in Paris last year - who would have thought I'd ever see them again!?! 'Twas a short reunion, but sweet!
Ate the best Tiramisu of my life...
And theeeeeeeeeen...the most magical evening of the summer: saw the ballet of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Baths of Caracalla. UNBELIEVABLE! I was almost in tears it was so beautiful. I was also reciting all of the lines in my head the entire time...because I'm that much of a dork :P
After that more than amazing experience, there was a little fair going on next door where lots of little merchants set up booths and every 100 yards there were make-shift dance floors. Very neat-o.
On July 9th, went to the Foro Romano (Roman Forum) which is spectacular but HUGE...and scorchingly hot under the burning sun. Definitely didn't get to see everything (since I only had a short time before getting to the airport) and first had to wait in line for over an hour (duh..).
Also hopped over to the Coliseum and saw that briefly, very impressive as well.
Hung out with some hardcore Romans:
And finally, it was goodbye Roma! I will definitely have to go back because there is still sooooo much stuff I didn't get to see (I think you need at least a month there to see most of it).
My flight back to Paris was with Lufthansa, and I will take a moment to tell you just how WONDERFUL they are. I will definitely fly with them again if I get the chance. First off, took me about 5 minutes to check in with their automatic thingy and they didn't charge me for my overweight suitcase! (I don't know how it got overweight...).
The flight attendants on the plane were the friendliest I've encountered thus far! And as an added bonus, they served free wine and delicious little sandwich snacks. I highly recommend flying with them!

The past few days in the UK - land of tea-time, queues, and loos
On Monday:
Started the day at the British Museum - and now remember why I am not fond of it - while the collection is absolutely outstanding, it is always (no matter how early you get there) faaaaaaar too crowded and rather difficult to enjoy since you are constantly being pushed and shoved by everyone around you (this becomes especially annoying when you are there to study the displays and can barely see anything...). I still spent quite a few hours there and took tons of notes and pictures.
(see...you can't even see what's inside the cases!)
Then I wandered to Regent's Park and had a little picnic, quite lovely indeed.
(yes...the British geese definitely quack (do geese quack?) with an accent!)
Walked around for a bit and then went back to Regent's Park to see....The Importance of Being Earnest!! In the open air theatre. First, had some barbecue from their picnic area (how nice!) and it was scrumptious!
The show was great (even though Side Show's production was, of course, a thousand times better - even their scene changes took as long as ours, hahah:P) and lots of fun to watch outdoors! And sitting next to me...people from UVA who knew Laura!! What a small small world it is after all.
On Tuesday:
Back to the British Museum, still just as crowded...
Don't get me wrong, it's wonderful that so many people want to see the Egyptian stuff...it just makes it difficult to fully enjoy. *sigh* I also think that having to fight your way through the crowds makes the whole thing that much more exhausting. But seriously, it really is a great museum.
(look at me being all researchy!)
I walked around a bit in London afterwards, but was so exhausted that I went straight home and crashed super early (I know...lame...).
Today (Wednesday):
AMAAAAAZZIINNNG day! I took a train to Bristol (about 1 1/2 hours away) to visit the museum there. I wasn't sure what to expect since I knew it was a small-ish museum, but I was extremely pleasantly surprised. Well...first I had to wait in line for about 1 hour and a half (because of some crazy graffiti exhibition going on), but once I got to the Egyptian exhibit, I was in awe.
(the line, or should I say "queue"....they even had to close off a road for it)
The exhibit is the most cutting-edge, forward-thinking, and perhaps most interesting of all the museums I have seen so far. It is also the most different from any of the others, which was really quite refreshing!
After visiting the gallery on my own, I met up with the curator and the learning coordinator. My meeting with them was probably the best one so far as well (besides Leiden). They talked with me for over 2 hours and gave me so much great information and insights! It was just a great conversation - instead of a stiff interview, I didn't even have to ask my prepared questions. I will have so much to talk about in my paper! Yay!
Took the train back and now am just relaxing in the apartment, getting ready for another big day tomorrow!

Rome: July 7th
Once again, painfully dragged myself out of bed at 6am. Arrived at the Vatican right as it opened and only waited in line for 15 minutes! Apparently, Tuesday is a good day to go! I went back to the Egyptian rooms (that for some reason were much more crowded than the day before) and continued my research there.
Wandered to see the School of Athens (amazing) and then waited in line for another hour and a half or so to see St. Peter’s Basilica.
(Why am I standing like an Egyptian? Hmm...maybe because it's ALLLL that I've been looking at, and apparently subconsciously my body has decided to take the pose whenever possible....how strange).
WOW. This has got to be the most beautiful sight I have yet to see. The inside of the basilica is unbelievable…it instantly quiets everyone down, you just get completely overwhelmed by the beauty that surrounds you!
Also saw the Pieta of course:
View from the pool of my hotel:
Then wandered about some more and discovered some lovely fountains:
And saw the Ara Pacis:
Had some pizza with Saverio:
And ended the night with some very amusing jumping pictures :)
