So I did it. I went to the city today and saw dinosaurs. Lots of them.I wanted to put these pics up before I go showing them elsewhere (facebook). I had an amazing, lovely day.
It was really crowded inside, but for the most part it was an awesome good day. I started on the fourth floor, where I met the dinosaurs and worked my way down to first floor where I encountered the stars. The dinosaurs themselves exceeded my expectations. The museum infuses real and faux bones to reconstruct what dinosaurs look like. They were mammoth creatures who have stolen my heart. I gasped at this fellow.
The exhibit that really stole the show though was the human origin one. Jeepers people, I cried. It was too beautiful for words. Our origins are traced back billions of years, and I encountered the two bipedal (early) hominids, holding hands behind the glass partition.
Holding hands! It was too lovely for words, and I got all choked up and I tried to take a picture but I couldn't seem to get a good angle. And then I realized I had my story, because of two early human beings holding hands.
I will of course post more pictures later, the trip has taken a lot out of me (that's the introvert part I despise. Sheer exhaustion from external interactions) but I had an amazing day!
Will write later. Now time for a nap
