The new and the familiar
Traveling so often involves the excitement of discovering new places (the wild roads), but sometimes it's just so lovely to revisit places you love--Batumi, Tbilisi, restaurants and a favorite cat. How refreshing to discover museums with more than pottery shards and propaganda--well-done, Georgia!

brokenpotteryitis
The museums in Tbilisi were so great because they were filled with lovely shiny things and with English text. I have seen so much broken pottery over the years that I have developed a phobia to it, and really don't want to see another piece. I absolutely love museums but over the years have become a bit of a snob about them and selective on which ones we go to - it maybe because of that fear of broken pottery. If in Tbilisi we can recommend there museums.

Suffering for shards
I worked in the sweltering jungle for six weeks on an archaeological dig in the jungle outside of Tikal, Guatemala, and for our grueling, exotic and beautiful 60 hours a week, we found only pottery shards. After we'd mapped what were probably houses and small temples in the dense jungle, we dug down to bedrock and sifted the dirt for 'treasure' that is, shards. Hard work but interesting. I then bailed as the others spent the rest of the boring summer putting the shards together.

Going potty
All that hard work to have an idiot like me say "God no more pottery shards, I'm going potty". Yes I can appreciate the significance but it is my lack enthusiasm for fired clay. 10 points to you for doing the hard yards to find stuff I am bored with, and doing a job I am envious with. Please correct me if I am wrong but I would reckon finding it would be more exciting than looking at it in a museum.

So totally!
I so roll my eyes at potty shards in a museum! I want gold, gems and jewelry!
