Two beautiful warm days. Weds we took the ferry to the city and went to the insectarium-we got the combo ticket for the Insectarium , the zoo, aquarium and Imax. We only went to see the insects, had lunch in a fancy restaurant in an old historic building. The saw a powerful exhibit about Katrina.
Sunny day over the ferry coming to pick us up. Huge bugs at the Insectarium.
The underground bugs, 100 x normal size. Phew
Japanese garden butterfly garden. This on looks like a leaf.
colorful butterfly and one on John’s hat
John took this photo of one in my hair, Snacks at the tiny termite café.
we passed on the cooking show. An art exhibit at the beginning of the Katrina exhibit. A bunch of messages in glass bottles and glass hands reaching out.

Piranha feeding frenzy, penguin skeleton. I don’t think the bus has that kind of skeleton.
HUGE rare albino alligator, and the jellies
Parakeet point- a room with 100’s of parakeets. You could buy a popsicle stick with bird seed attached so the parakeets would sit on your hand.
