On the 3rd of February we went to Agrigento, an archaeological site in Sicily. There we saw the ruins of Greek temples and then went into a museum to look at pots. Let me tell you that pots are so boring. It was cool to look at them, but my god! Unfortunately for me one of my classes, an archaeology class, has a whole section on pots. In fact for our midterm exam we have to do a pottery identification (identifying the fabric, grits, painting, clay, figures etc.) which I plan on failing. Here are some pictures of the trip (I am terrible at captions, because I forget what half of them are... I'm such a bad tourist/blogger).

Yea, I did it.
