One of the highlights of the trip for us geeky archaeologists was the Otzi museum. Otzi is a 5000 year old mummy found frozen in the ice on the border between Italy and Austria. He had clothes, tools, and an arrow head lodged in his back. The sun was shiny for the first time since we arrived in Italy.

If I were doing a reconstruction, I would make the dude a little better looking.

Jack was into it! He loved checking out Otzi's artifacts and all of the village models.
