MFA

Today I finally got to the Museum of Fine Arts, and it was divine. We were there for almost 5 hours, and no way did I see everything.

Among the many many highlights - I got to see the Pan Painter's vase showing Actaeon being nibbled to death by little dogs (a personal fav) and the kalyx krater with the Death of Agamemnon where he's got that weird net thing over him. FABBO!

Plus I got to see the original of my replica Egyptian cat statue. It's really small!

I managed to resist most of the temptations of the gift shop, except for a couple of small things for TRACY... :)
