Friday 3 July

After a late night at the Comedy Strip last night it was a slow morning today. After stumbling out of bed we decided on trying out a gluten free American pancakes mix. Cooking these in a casserole dish rather than a fry pan was challenging and they really didn't look pretty, but they didn't taste too bad by the time they were smothered in maple syrup.

We decided to check out the Natural History Museum for the afternoon. We got there just after midday and decided to start from the bottom an head up towards the top floors. We saw some great exibits, especially in the areas of Earth sciences, lots of great rocks! I even found a great mineral sample that looks just like snot and is named after my brother. ;o)

We enjoyed the first level so much (we spent 4 hours there) that we had to rush through the other 3 floors. I took a toilet break and got disoriented while Phil went to find the T-Rex, by the time I found him (only about 5 minutes) they were kicking us out of the museum as it was closing. Unfortunately that meant Phil didn't get his photo taken with the T-Rex, but at least he got to see it.

After a walk through Central Park to find the Delacorte Theatre and find that Shakespeare tickets were sold out, we headed home for an early night.
