Today, Sarah and I realized that we have been traveling for a while and our standards are lower than others. I think mine are still higher than Sarah´s but I usually remain quiet when she finds a place that she wants to eat, unless I think it is really bad instead of just bad.
We went to the Museo De Banco Reserve. It was a very nice museum with a breath taking gold display. We had to go downstairs into a vault to see the display. Sarah and I also realized that we go through museums faster than Hillary and Judy. So we spent a little extra time waiting for them.I give it to them for taking more time and trying to take in all the information. I wish I was a little more patient. I think the more museums we go to the faster we start to go through them.
Next we went accross town to the National Museum. On the way there our taxi drove into a shooting. He flipped the car into reverse, like the others and we saw a gun go off (we even saw the fire from the shooting) and then a gang of people running towards us. The taxi driver was great and manuvered through the police coming to the scene and making sure that we don´t get involved.
Once safely to the museum, we found that it was underconstruction. Only two floors were open for viewing. One with historical artifacts (funny thing at a museum huh) and the other was a huge presentation on a social genocide that took place. I felt for naieve for not knowing about what had happened to these people. It even happened while I was alive and in school. It was very moving and had a huge impact. The pictures were very disheartening. It was a good day and we had to get ready because Dad will be here tomorrow. YAY! I am very excited for his visit.
