...and finally, the good stuff - Dinosaurs!
This is a very large fish. Imagine picking this guy's bones out of your teeth...
This fellow was a sea snake.
A fairly complete Allosaurus skeleton. In the foreground, is a T-Rex skeleton.
this one really made my jaw drop. Archaeopteryx... the link between birds and dinosaurs... and what a beautiful specimen it is.
Touch a Deinonychus claw? Ok... I will.
A Stegosaurus... and a great deal of text refuting the two-brains theory...
A Triceratops... they're a little bigger than I imagined them to be.
A Badger...
Unable to find the time to watch the "cosmic collisions" show at the museum's planetarium, I was content to observe two Mooses colliding. (is that the plural of "Moose"? is it Meese?)
This was terribly kinky... I guess these guys solved the problem of uncomforably hard church pews...
mmm... yum yum yum
when the trunk is pointed up - it means good luck
Later that night, we meet up in Central Park to go ice skating... which was fun, except that I dont take too well to rental skates.
We met up with Meribah and her sister and went to have some dinner in the East Village at a very colourfully decorated restaurant called "Yaffer".
Us? Tourists? Nevar...
Some random art in the West 4th Street Station... (i think).
A nice early walk across the Brooklyn Bridge... phwoar, very impressive.
On the 27th, we went on a "Sex and the City" tour. Apparently, it is a TV show about some people living in New York... our tour began in front of the Plaza hotel.
This was one of my favourite parts of the tour - muffins. Someday I'll get around to watching the actual TV show so I will actually understand some of these references.
No, don't be silly, we're not tourists... we're just fans of Narcissus.
...is there chocolate in my teeth?
In this TV series, there is a character named "Carrie". This is her "stoop", which I think is just another word for "the steps leading up to the building containing her apartment".
Caitlin samples a cosmopolitan.
We were in a restaurant/bar which was used in the series...
Despite never having watched the show, the tour was enjoyable because I got to see some of New York and the tour guide was very informative.
Later that night, Lily met up with Iyana, a friend whom she met while spending a semester in Amsterdam who now lives in New York. The owner of the bar, Gary, sits to the left of Iyana and made us some nice drinks and undercharged us some ridiculous amount.
...and of course, what trip to New York would be complete without a trip to Macy's?
The next day, we spent the morning browsing through the Metropolitan Museum of Art...
...which was just magnificent.
