NEMO and the Art of Doing Nothing

Yesterday, Jay and I went to NEMO, the science museum that you can see from our hostel. It is designed to be a kids museum, but we went anyway. We were surprised to see this sign when we walked in!



Just kidding. This picture is from one of the exhibits, but I think the lesson was about obeyig authority. The museum was funny because the theme was just science in general, so when we'd have a space museum, and a natural history museum, and a discovery center as different places, they were all at NEMO. There were exhibits that would never fly in a US museum, but I won't go into detail because this is a family blog.

The other thing that has taken some getting used to in this trip is the amount of downtime we have. We can sleep as late as we'd like, and being on a budget means we don't have every activity at our disposal. We're getting good at rummey, and we're spending lots of time reading. We're hoping to do more picture taking and journal writing as we get better at this doing nothing business.
