Beard Update

Yep, 7 weeks makes a pretty thick beard.

PISMO CLAMS

At the original Smithsonian, they have lots of older forms of money (including really old coins and bills) But one of the oldest monies was these clams from Pismo Beach! If you click the picture, it will get bigger and you can read about it.

Indonesian Embassy

This is the Tiffany (yes, cherie, tiffany) ceiling at the Indonesian embassy. This was originally a house that cost $835,000 to build in 1902 (for an Irish immigrant who struck gold in Colorado). The daughter of the owner bought the hope diamond from Cartier. The house was sold for $335,000 in 1951 to Indonesia. CRAZY!
