Before I showed up in this Blackpoint, I was on a backpacking trip through Europe, did a lot of bus riding and hostel sleeping there.
He need an "expert" on Art History for Egypt? I could go on for hours about Roman society whitewashing Egyptian art and defacing it because they didn't want to admit Egyptians were Africans.... Plus it'd give me a better reason to give the dads instead of "hey so I'm running away with a hot guy for a couple weeks".
