Sadly, this project has lost funding! Say it ain’t so, Cesar Saez!

Looking somewhat more Jewish than Harrison Ford, Josh Bernstein was the host (and explorer, adventurer (or Dave-venturer, as I like to say (wait, I know have three levels of parentheses))) and handsome Hebrew of “Digging for the Truth” and a number of History channel specials. He has since defected to the Discovery Channel (say it ain’t so, Josh!) The show has kept going somehow, but Josh’s shadow is large.

So, in his History Channel memory, I present…

The Josh Bernstein/Digging for the Truth Drinking Game!

While watching “Digging for the Truth” or “The Real Tomb Raiders” or “Josh Bernstein: Now Available to Open Your Schul”…

• take a sip if Josh is dressed like Indiana Jones
• take a sip if Josh mentions Indiana Jones
• take a sip if Josh mentions Harrison Ford
• take TWO sips if Josh mentions Harrison Ford and dismisses Brendan Fraser
• take a sip if Josh mentions Nazis
• take a sip if Josh attempts some physical activity and gets hurt
• take TWO sips if Josh attempts some physical activity and doesn’t get hurt
• take a sip if Josh says exactly what someone else just said with “But…” at the beginning.
• take a sip if Josh talks to an archaeologist
• take a sip if Josh talks to a random person in another country who knows nothing about archaeology
• drink half a cup if Josh changes clothes
• drink a whole cup if Josh has a special where he tries to find something new
• drink the whole bottle if Josh Bernstein actually finds something new!!

In two weeks, I’m leaving for a three month trip across Europe and North Africa. And I’m asking *YOU* for your travel recommendations. What should I see? How should I pack? What should I eat?

Keep in mind that I’ll likely pass up museums unless they’re truly original (and have a good map collection). I won’t go to an art gallery unless it has an artist I really like (Fauvists). And I don’t eat meat, including horse penis (I’m talking to you, Tom!)

But what have you found that you really liked? Restaurants? Places to stay? Parks, walks, rivers, oceans, bays, and ancient real estate are of particular interest. Also, any cultural, geographic, or human rights items?

Here’s my itinerary:

• Ireland
• Tunisia
• London
• Prague
• Hungary/Budapest
• Krakow (maybe)
• Lviv (maybe)
• Slovenia
• Croatia

Let me know!
