Off on an Adventure

[cornerofmadness]

Mom and I went to The Maridon Museum which is the only western PA museum dedicated to Japanese/Chinese culture. My BFF, S, met us there (as it's up near her house). I expected her to bring her daughter, but I forgot her son wants to minor in the Japanese language. Everyone had fun

That you still had Tony semi-recently makes me smile. :D

Gaaaaah to the art. And agreed about the ivory carvings. I can kind of see both sides to this argument - too hard to verify the age of the ivory; too many elephants are being destroyed daily for their ivory. And yet the incredible artistry...

[cornerofmadness]

He's sitting beside me right now. We took that pic today

Yeah it's definitely a thorny issue. Destroying it isn't going to bring anything back. We need to do better at preventing it

[evil_little_dog]

I need to point Tony and you out to Mom, who occasionally makes noises about my very old stuffed animals.

Agreed. Preventing it would go a long way.

Tony (and Pookie) will be with me until I go into a nursing home. Pookie will probably come with me in my coffin

What beautiful pix! The Maridon looks like someplace I*'d love to visit! :D While it's sad that elephants died to make such beautiful works of art, it should be preserved and used to educate people about why it's wrong to do that.

You and Tony still look cute together! :D

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks. THe Maridon was a nice excursion.

I agree with you on the ivory

Thanks

You're welcoem! :D I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

*nods*

Beautiful pictures!

Glad you had a good trip, but all things end...

Love your shirt! Were you never a princess?

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks.

Yes all good things must come to an end.

Mom says no. I didn't think so either. It went from farmer to archeologist to doctor. And I'm STILL interested in all those things

The Maridon Museum looks (and sounds) pretty awesome!! Sometimes it's true that the private collector-type collections are only so big.

Kanda in the bg of your second photo with Tony is making me laugh though XD

[cornerofmadness]

It was a very nice private collection. You'd probably have enjoyed it.

Right? He wouldn't stop photobombing.

[seta_suzume]

I'll jot the name down to aid my future memories of it!

I guess he just wanted to be in the new picture that badly!! XD;

[cornerofmadness]

If you ever find yourself in Pittsburgh....(and if you do, let me know and I'll drive back)

He truly did
