It had started to snow by the time we reached the museum, so we were glad to get into the warmth of the museum. It was a very well done museum, or at least it looked that way, we still have not learned the art of reading crylic. We enjoyed the pictures, then made our way to aquarium side, which had many variety of fish from the lake, and even had a Nerpa seal. From there we went upstairs to an area you can look at macro-invertebrates under the microscope. This was both of our favorite part indoors, and we stayed for a while. We made our way through the underwater photography exhibit, then headed outside.
The museum had an outdoor exhibit that contained many native trees and plants, including some that were endangered. It was most enjoyable wandering around reading about the plants and comparing the trees to the ones back home. There was also a fantastic overlook of the lake, and the fog gave it an eerie, surreal look.
We made the return trip to the hostel through the snow, the temperature dropping the entire way. It was awesome! We stopped by the store, doing our usual blank stare pointing routine we had developed during the always exciting task of buying groceries. Hoping to make some burgers, we bought what looked like a tube of ground beef. This in fact turned out to be a gigantic hot dog, so we instead fried it up with egg and pasta. Not what we had planned, but delicious non the less. After talking with the group of people staying there for quite some time, we decided we should get some sleep, another big day tomorrow!
- living the dream!
