A channel to the cosmos?
After dinner last night my host father asked me if I believed in Darwin's theory. Um, yes? Well, he doesn't. I think he said it was because there are still monkeys around now, so clearly they didn't become us. Even if my Russian was good enough to argue about evolution, I think I might leave this one alone. He went on to explain that there's life on other planets, and that aliens directed us to build the pyramids so we could communicate with them. At least, I think that's what he said. At this point my host brother came in and the two of them started arguing about the pyramids, the Sphinx, aliens, and parallel universes. I heard the words solar system and Milky Way a lot. There was much waving of hands and the internet was huffily consulted. My host mom came in to check on me, and I told her not to worry - this is better than television!
