On Wednesday we took a hint from Nick Russell and went to see the Natural History Museum here in Mesa. It is loaded with dinosauers -- starting with metal sculptures outside and lots of bones on the inside. They also have a diorama-like display of what dinosauers may have looked like in their natural setting milleniums ago.
It would have been a great place to take the grandkids -- they would not only have liked the dinos, but the "poop" display would be a great hit. They have quite a "investigation" area set up that challenges kids to figure out "who left it?" Plus the display that shows the relative size of various deposits -- like the one from a whale on the upper right!
After three hours or so at the museum we stopped on the way home at the market across the street from the RV p
ark.
Our neighbors at the park had told us about it -- it's quite a place! Iceburg lettuce was 3 heads for a dollar and blueberries were 49 cents a carton (versus the $4+ I had paid at the grocery). They had two varieties of avocados, half a dozen kinds of oranges and just about every other fruit and vegetable. They do a landslide business -- there were four check-out stands and they each had a line of people ten deep behind them.
Thursday I spent most of the day fighting with the new computer -- hours and hours on the phone with tech support. I ended up having to completely reformat and reinstall everything. It's still acting squirrely...
