Doing Didyma, Performing at Pergamon

Temple of Apollo at Didyma, one of the largest temples in the ancient world. Current home to stray dogs.

The great theater at Pergamon, built into a mountainside, with modern town below. In Roman times, this city had 150,000 people. Off to the left of where I was standing was the great library, rivalling the one at Alexandria. Apparently, the Egyptians weren't too happy about that, so they cut of the supply of papyrus, forcing the Pergamese to develop parchment from animal skin.

Donnie Digs for ɔXc

I spent most of the summer excavating at Zincirli, an Iron Age city. 115 degree heat and 4:30am wake-ups were appropriately hardcore. Additional note: You may notice, on close inspection, that my collar is popped. This is for heat and sun protection alone, and should not (here's looking at you, Dan Hodson) be seen as condoning the practice in any larger context. Donahue Erb-Satullo '07

Trojan CXC

Many an epic battle took place beneath the walls for Troy, where Swift-Footed Achilles fought Hector, Breaker of Horses. Though ruins now, Troy is once again achieves epic grandeur by association with the cXc. --Donahue Erb-Satullo '07

cXc along the Presidential Range

This is from my Backpacking trip along the Presidential Mountain Range in NH. The weather was great up until Mt. Washington, where upon some fog/cloud covered the entire mountain, followed by snow/hail that started to hit us (my backpacking buddy and myself). On the top of Mt. Washington, it was 27 degrees, with 47 mph wind at our face, which came to a 16/17 degree wind chill, on a nice August day.

Cross Country in Kilts

This is Arthur's Seat, the highest point in Edinburgh, Scotland. There is a really good trail around the hill for running and a hike to the peak takes about 15 minutes-it is over 800 m above sea level. Edinburgh is a very historical city and a huge Summer music festival makes it a lively place, until 7:00 pm when all of the shops and restaurants close.

Holy Carp! CXC is in Mesopotamia!

In the Cradle of Civilization, there is a city called Urfa. In that city, there is a pool. And in that pool live sacred carp. Huge, ravenous sacred carp. If you go "all in" with the tray of fish food they hand out, they writhe in a slippery flopping mass. This needed a CXC for the novelty.
