We had a great day with Frances and Hamish. They took us to the American Museum of Natural History (you know the movie: 'Night at the Museum'). What a great place, you really need several days to take it all in, including their special exhibits that are always changing. We saw a beautiful butterfly exhibit of many varieties of live butterflies. They seemed to like Hamish, landing on him often and not wanting to leave. We also enjoyed their live lizards and snakes exhibit where a huge boa constrictor showed us how wide she could open her mouth (a yawn maybe?). Kyra got a video of a lizard that accidently slipped off it's legde, it was unharmed so it was funny.
After many hours enjoying the museum they took us for a walk in Central Park. They say that for them it's their backyard and they know it that well. We went on a bus to their apartment not far from the park on the east river. They fed us a lovely meal and then so kindly guided us back on the bus, 2 subways and down Wall St. to our ferry terminal. They even waited with us until our ferry showed up an hour later. Thank you so much for everything Frances and Hamish. You added greatly to our New York experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with you!
