The week started with a Beginners Hieroglyphs Workshop with Dr. Bruce Love. I learned so much from him, he broke down the calendar and glyphs to an easy to understand language of meaningful symbols.

Then the speakers at the symposium were amazing, especially my idol Dr. David Stuart. Dr. Anthony F. Avenni due to his humerous personality and approachability, is also a new idol of mine – great presentation. I introduced myself to all the archaeologists who spoke and to Dr. David Stuart and Dr. Julia Guernsey professors in the Art History Department at the University of Texas at Austin. With each one I felt like jumping up and down, clapping my hands and yelling “Hercules, hercules”.
