expectations. When walking up to the structure, it doesn’t look like a Gaol. It looks just like a gated stone building. Upon going into the entry way to the museum, you can read about some of the history of the building and see the full layout. When the tour started, the inside of the Gaol was actually colder than the outside temperatures. Walking through the corridors you could almost imagine living in the cells where it was cold and damp, having only a small blanket for warmth. The first place…
The summer of 2016 my family and I decided to plan a trip to Destin, Florida. My family and I then booked the trip for summer 2017 at our beautiful, amazing, and peaceful condominium called, Surfside. My family and I adventured out and did three activities while on vacation. We went snorkeling, parasailing, and to Shell Island in Panama City. My family and I decided to leave on a late Friday evening. We had driven all night and extremely exhausted even with all of us taking turns driving. I…
The Holocaust Museum The site I chose was The KSU Museum of History and Holocaust Education (KSU Exhibit), which is located in Kennesaw, Georgia on Kennesaw State University campus. This Museum was opened in 2003. The KSU memorial was established to present programs and exhibitions on WW2 and the Holocaust. This museum was put in place to educate people on the Holocaust. What I found interesting is that when you go to this one site exhibit you will meet men and woman who have survived the…

My auto-ethnography encompassed a three-day span from last Thursday afternoon to Saturday afternoon. During this time, I visited Boston to participate in the celebration of a rabbi’s installation as the first woman to lead New England’s largest Reform Jewish Synagogue (Temple Israel of Boston). As points-of-reference: this particular rabbi was also the person who oversaw my conversation to Judaism and was particular influential during some of my tumultuous life events. Additionally, I have…
the Roman City of Jerasi. Just communicating with our tour guide was hard because although he spoke some English, some words and phrases he just couldn't understand, and same, he didn't know how to tell us details that he couldn't translate. There were obstacles to communicating with our tour guide but through some techniques, we were able to understand what each other were saying. There were major communication differences between the tour guide and myself. First off, he was…

If you go around at your own pace there are also guides for each section or time period to answer any questions you may have. Books are also available in the library at crystal bridges to help with any questions you might…
Coolidge. This Lava Bed is located on the border of California and Oregon. At this site you are able to see caves, take a tour around the park, go hiking on scenic trails, climb cinder cones and learn about volcanoes that are active or inactive. I think this field trip would be educational because we would be there and we would remember instead of pictures off the internet. The tour around the park will be historical because there is four special things to look at for an example, Symbol…
Dr. Ng, Thank you for your insights about Greek Epigraphy. I am very glad to hear from you that you are an epigrapher. I need to learn about it from you. Inscriptions were generally moved from their steady place with a reason of reusing the items in other constructions, and most probably, because of some catastrophic phenomena, such as earthquakes, battles, fires, and rebels, inscriptions had damages, and so the walls were reused with no historical reason. Historians need to interpret on…
