Splish, Splash

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

I had great fun today imagining a lot of splishing and splashing going on in this Roman period bath complex at Karnak temple. It is quite an archaeological puzzle, but the picture is becoming clearer. I'm there to help my Egyptian friends with all the Greek and Latin terminology, such as 'Laconicum' for this dry sauna with its heated floor. Exciting stuff!


Although the skies glowed red tonight, it has been quite chilly with a wind that has blown all day.

  1. The water guy has been quite quiet, hope he is splishing and splashing around somewhere safely.

    Where do you get those quotes!?
