Sister Act III: Must see!

Yesterday I went to the Musée du quai Branly to see an exhibit on Teotihuacan civilization (Mexico, ancestors of the Aztecs). I really liked it, and I thought that their account of history everywhere was very engaging.

This is called the Disk of Death. It struck me somehow, I found it very impressive. They often portrayed their gods with their tongues sticking out, as it showed thirst which could only be quenched with sacrifices (not uncommonly the human variety).

On our way to Gabrielle's house to make fondue for lunch, we passed this sign, which this time I happened to notice. Apparently there's a wine museum ... I need to check THAT out!



Today I had my first after-school group of little kids ... mostly Kindergarteners, with a few first graders, 14 total. They were so sweet, I'm in love with them :)

And a third grader called me "Sister Molly", when she disregarded a strategic comma [I like my sister, Molly, etc.]. The teacher, Nora, and I were dying of laughter, and finally explained why to the class at which point they cracked up too.

This follows on the heels of a first grader informing me that I'm Michael Jackson's mom last week. I didn't even know where to begin on that one!
