My trip to the Museum


This is the lower jaw of a Sperm Whale. Be amazed.

What a beautiful museum. It was built like a church, but is devoted to Biology.
 T-Rex attack!
 The one on the left is an African Elephant skeleton, the one on the right is an Asian Elephant skeleton.
 This was my favorite thing in the entire Pitt Rivers collection. They are carved ivory spheres, 11 in total, all carved out of the same block of ivory!
 Just a cool document.
 A Hawaiian king's coat made entirely out of bird feathers!
 The Pitt Rivers museum, an extensive collection of odd artifacts from mostly primitive or exotic civilizations.

Gluttons

Lunch anyone? I got this at my favorite tiny grocery store after about 30 minutes of banter with the clerk Ben. That dude knows a lot about cheese. Thanks Ben!
