The best part of the museum was the stuffed animals. My favorite was the pangolin which looks something like a cross between an armadillo and a possum.

We didn't go to much more that day, but instead enjoyed walking around the mall looking at the buildings. We did find this fountain which shoots up four stories. It also helped to cool us off. At home, I promptly fell asleep. To Be Continued...
