The tour begins!

I arrived at my first destination about 12 hours ago and got to see some of the sights today despite being tired and jet lagged.  What country I'm in really depends on who you ask.  Technically I am in the country that rejected my visa (3 times) but if I were to try and go where I originally planned I would be arrested for illegal immigration.  Many say that I'm in a country that doesn't really exist.  This morning I went to a museum that traces the history of the area back to the stone age.  It was interesting although they did have an overwhelming amount of broken pottery that looked like it had been put together with crazy glue and some of the English signs were a little bizarre.  There was one that I believe was supposed to say "Clay Lamp" but instead said "Clay Lump"  I don't know, it did sort of look like a lump so maybe the sign makers did know what they were talking about!  One of the very interesting parts was that at some point in history the people of this area buried bodies in pottery urns.  They had two of them on display with the skeletons visible in them.  After a hamburger for lunch I am back in the hotel for a little siesta before heading out tonight to visit a nearby mountain to get some panoramic views of the city at night.
