Statues and Stuff

Despite the annoyingness of the kids, the museum was cool. It had old rifles, and cannons, and buttons; keyholes, and shoes, and mud/shell/rock encrusted old swords (looked like someone poured lumpy cement on it) and that was all in the first section! Later on, it took you through pots dating back to the sixth century B.C.!!!! It's weird to think that they are that old...its weird to think that some day our stuff will seem that old...*shudder* Anyways, there were also some ceramic plates and metal basins and a bunch of interesting things. Nearing the end of the museum, there were several statue-thingy's that people had found (seriously, one was found by a fisherman dragging up his net, another two by some dude swimming) (that would be soooo cool!) One was really creepy though, it was a statue of a young child pointing with one hand to his other. Only, his other hand was just a stump. And his eyes were just black holes of nothingness. We could imagine him saying, "Moooommmmmyyyy! Look at my haaannnddd! It's just a stump! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! *creepy laughter*" I'll have nightmares for weeks. Another was of Alexander the Great. Just saying that if I were a king (or ruler or whatever Alexander the Great was) I wouldn't want a statue of me naked. It seems, like, disrespectful...or subject for uncomfortable conversation. Ah well. After that were some cool statues and mosaics and these GIANT pots that were used to carry water, wine, and grains. I could just see some naughty kid hiding inside and popping out when the people were carrying the pots onto the boat. I wish I could have taken pictures of all this (darn you no camera signs) but I hope the description was enough.
