On My Coffee Cup

Stopped at Starbucks today and liked what I found on my coffee cup, so thought I'd share. Imagine how this felt!

"Once, when excavating the house of a medieval sailor on the coast of the Red Sea in Egypt, I found a still-preserved reed mat in front of a door. Under the doormat was a wooden key with the name of the owner painted on it. It was an extraordinary sense of connection with the last person to walk out of that building 700 years ago.”

– Fred Hiebert, Archaeologist and National Geographic Fellow
