Hello! I'm in Greece right now!
We arrived yesterday, maybe around 3:00 p.m. in Greece. We had travelled for hours (way too long!). At the airport, we were picked up and taken to visit the Temple of Poseidon. The Temple was gorgeous--it amazes me to see the columns still standing even today.
Today, we visited the Epigraphical Museum and the National Archaeological Museum. Both were very impressive. I just don't understand how the art created in the ancient days (B.C.) could have survived to today--I wonder how much was made then, and what people will find 1000 years from now...If people do, indeed, survive that long.
We also visited the Acropolis (which included a huge ampitheater, the Parthenon, and such).
I will post pictures when I get home, I promise!! =)
(I have a more detailed account on my blogger, so if you want to read that [-chokes-, doubts anyone would], ask me! =)

Maybe your ceramics will become priceless artifacts 1000 years from now

Haha n_n; I always wondered what will be passed on as heirlooms, and what things will just be forgotten or viewed as 'junk' years from now. I'm pretty attached to the things I put a lot into. So maybe that is why I still have school papers from eons ago (my other excuse is that there is some stuff we covered in class ages ago but haven't covered again; so it's always nice to have a little text here or there, maybe one trophism in plants or something; random tidbits. I'm a packrat -_-).
I always thought it'd be fun to plant a time capsule somewhere. One of the big questions is where though. Somewhere that won't be disturbed, but won't be forgotten. :O
If found 1000 years from now people would probably still be confused by the bird...maybe by then it won't have a beak at all; maybe it's head will be lost, or its tail will break off. :O
