Ur  
On today's calendar?

Visiting the Royal Tombs of Ur at the Museum of Natural Science. Yay! [livejournal.com profile] jalabert knows how much this thrills my soul -- and is probably grateful that she isn't part of this trip.

Sadly, no photos allowed so there will be no pics to add to my collection of photos of Sumerian and Assyrian art at the Met. Joe will earn his sainthood, I'm sure. He's so wonderfully patient with my glacial-melt pace when in exhibits.

ETA: Hope the little prim'ta's vet appointment went well today, [livejournal.com profile] jalabert!

*whimper* I wanna go NOW and see these. Especially the Assyrian reliefs. They're just so fascinating. One of these days I have to sit down and teach myself a bit of the language.

number of Rodin sculptures

What is it with you and this modern art stuff?!? ;-)
