Today we went to the Museum of Natural History. What an incredible place! We only saw a tiny fraction of it, yet we saw exhibit after exhibit, all of them fascinating. We could easily spend the entire week in this one museum. The exhibits are so lifelike, it's astonishing. We looked at Birds of the Pacific, North American Mammals, Eskimos, and Human Evolution. Went on a very interesting guided tour about insects. Saw the Naturemax movie, "To the Limit". There were breathtaking shots of an expert skier zooming down a mountain at 60 MPH and of a mountain climber on Half Dome. There were also amazing scenes of the inside of the human body, especially the circulatory system and the respiratory system.
We ate lunch downstairs in the Diner Saurus. It was expensive and not very good. After we'd eaten, Roy pulled a Milky Way out of his backpack and cut it in half. I was delighted, thinking he was going to give me half for dessert. All of a sudden, the half I thought he was going to give me disappeared back into his pack. I was thunder-
struck. Immobile, I stared speechlessly at the spot where the candy had been. Roy thought I'd had a stroke! Then I started laughing. I laughed so hard, I almost couldn't stop. It turned out he was saving that half for later in the afternoon. He divided the half that was still on the table between him and me.
