We weren't mummified actually, but just walking around a museum looking at mummies. I think in the US, a museum like this would be successful, but there would be far fewer tiny little children being taken in to the place. In Mexico, they have this real interest in death, in a way that is a little spectacle with a little celebration. Here, they have Dia de los Muertos, all the skulls, devil masks, and crucifixes everywhere. The Mummy Museum fits with all that.

This is how Jenny and I spent our Sunday afternoon.
