We didn't quite understand what exactly it was all about until we got there, and then we wished we would have had Eli wear his Pharaoh costume, but we still had fun making these comics.
Sometimes when I'm at these museums I start to feel overwhelmed. I read a caption about Lykian culture and my mind is completely blank. What/who/where was Lycia? (I only know how to spell that because I looked it up.) This world is so expansive. It's history so infinte. And my knowledge so infinitesimally small. I enjoy learning little bits here and there, but I also feel a great conflict. It's a battle between an insatiable hunger to learn more and a complete discouragement and inadequacy that fosters ambivalence.
So that about sums up my museum experiences, and many other of my experiences here in London and in my life in general. Tempering the discouragement with enthusiasm, and shedding inadequacy for optimism and gratitude.
