I was skeptical about the $6 they wanted to get into the Rosicrucian
Museum, but it turned out to be well-spent. The museum is pretty nifty.

I notice that they are downplaying the Rosicrucian part lately, and
calling it the Egyptian Museum. At least the recent newpaper accounts
about the tests being run on a mummy never seemed to mention the
Rosicrucian business.

While huge indeed, I found the Flea Market a bit of a disappointment.
It isn't really a flea market, but a huge primitive mall with mostly
commercial products.
