I'll admit to you that I am a poor student when it comes to listening to lectures. All I hear is blah, blah, blah . . . blah, blah, blah, blah . . .

and so even though our tour guide did explain many of the exhibits to us, I only have photos for you with no explanations.  

I do believe, however, that the bones below belonged to a woolly mammoth . . . because it does look like Manny from Ice Age.

Hey Susan, maybe I could've been more scholarly if I had more time to browse . . . or not . . .

Kat, I think maybe that's why I got little bit nauseous . . . because the bus was so tall it rocked a bit.

I agree, V!

Hahahaha, thanks, Izsmom!

hahahaha! I fall asleep in all my lectures, the speaker must get pissed off at me all the time. I'm so rude but I can't help it!

jalna said...

LOL. Need to have your supply of sunflower seeds handy, Les.

Fascinating! I'm so sad for Ainu people...similar stories of native Indians here or Aborigines in Australia.
