Lunch With Tut.

The Ladies Who Lunch had quite an outing this past Thursday.

Lunch at Corina's Tea Room in Edinburg...

Beautifully decorated, wonderful food...

The Tomato Basil soup was heavenly!

Assorted chicken salads...

in salad form...

or on croissants!

YUM!

And cheesecake for dessert!

Happy faces!

We then all ran over to UTPA for a FREE King Tut exhibit.

Never saw so much gold...

gorgeous jewelry that wouldn't have been out of place wearing to Corina's for lunch. 

Put me in the mood to shop....

 This dagger is solid gold! 

Or would have been if it was real.

  I was all excited about being surrounded by precious jewels and pounds of gold until Karon reminded me it was all a facsimile...really well done, though.

 Now this is kinda cute...these are King Tut's shoes.

  His enemies portraits are painted on so when he walks he is "crushing" them!  Rather touching, really.

 Here is Tut as mummy.

 Young man...only about 18 when he died.

 Not much of a Pharaoh.  He didn't really have a chance to be. 

 But the whole world knows his name.

Ohhhh, more jewels! 

 It was just fascinating.  Go see, you won't be sorry.
