The rain seems to fall mostly at night here; I don’t really know if that’s true or why, but it feels that way. And it rained last night. But was still drizzling this morning.
So it was a good morning for an indoor activity, like visiting the Art Institute.
I saw Paris Rainy Day, which CVH has on her raincoat. She was wearing it today.
My favorite piece of all at the Institute is this model boat from ancient Egypt.
This piece fascinates me. Four thousand years old, and unlike most Egyptian art, a realistic depiction. It’s like a photograph; you are peering into a time fantastically far away. What would these men have thought if you told them someone would be gazing at their likeness forty centuries later? Not to mention the question of how could a wooden model boat be so well preserved.
