Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum

The Rosicrucians are a bunch of B-class wackos who believe in all kinds of esoteric stuff. None-the-less they run a good Egyptian museum in San Jose that apparently is the largest permanent collection on the west coast. This was just up from work on the 880 near San Jose airport so I dropped in Sunday.
Housed in a whole complex of egyptian-styled buildings that just screamed wacko, the museum was small to medium sized but well presented. They had some good original stuff and some reproductions of famous stuff as well. With flash photography banned it was a little hard to get good photos.
They also had a planetarium show about the ancient cult of Mithraism that was interesting even if the planetarium part was a little lame. The gift shop sucked even by museum standards.

Then swam and spent a bit more time in the sun (t-shirt on this time). I reckon it was about 38C in the sun. Running out of beer.

Woops

Spent a little too long in the sun yesterday - a little bit red. But at least I now know I can stay 2.5 hours in the sun without sunscreen. At home it's more like 20 mins.

Saturday

Sleep in. Free donuts. Very hot. Free coke. 3 hours by the pool with music and book. Swim. Awesome.

Last one, I promise. Got the ball in flight here (just at the edge of the pitchers mound). Posted by Hello

Thanks to Panarama Tools. Could have been a lot better. As usual I forgot to lock the whitebalance and then panned into the sun. But the stitching worked a treat. Posted by Hello
