Trip in review: Rome

The Colosseum really is impressive. It can hold thousands of people. They could empty the building in minutes — and they didn't have to worry about traffic jams!
 

Trip in review: The Acropolis

I got in trouble when we went to the Acropolis. No, I didn't break anything. But they have a policy that you can't take pictures of objects.

First we had a school flag that we use for all of our group photos. We were told that was a no-no. I can understand the flag and banners thing. They don't want political messages or anything.

But then I had a little BYU Cosmo — no more than two inches high, if that — and I tried to take a ""where's Cosmo?" photo. 

They came down on me so hard that I didn't take another Cosmo picture the entire trip. I honestly wasn't trying to cause any trouble! So be forewarned next time you visit the Acropolis: no photos of things!

The offending Cosmo.

 

Trip in review: More Athens

Any time you eat in Greece, you're going to get way more food than you can ever eat. And they'll keep it coming. And it is all very, very good!
 

Trip in review: Athens

Longtime readers may know that after we take our high school students on field trips to Europe, I draw a series of cartoons to recap the trip.

This year we visited Greece and Italy with Mythology students. Our first day in Athens we were dropped off downtown. One of the first storefronts we encountered was a museum with an interesting theme. It was not our destination, nor did we stop. But it was a surprise!

I thought it best, however, to use the edited version for this website so we keep our PG rating. Thank you for your understanding.

 

Sketchbook: Returned missionary

When the transfers don't come and exchanges don't work, there's always a third option.

I was lucky in that I got along well with most of my companions. But there were a couple of times when transfers couldn't come soon enough!

On a short timeline

One of the first questions that I always ask!
 

First the blade and then the ear

I don't know. It's still gross.
