In the morning we went down to breakfast for the first time in America. I just had a bagel but all the plates and bowls are paper and all the cutlery is plastic, can they not pay someone to wash up….
Then we went to the Science Museum, which was just down the road, and we bought tickets to the see the Pixar Exhibition. In the exhibition we saw how they created, lighted, animated and rendered the films. In every movie they have had a problem to solve, for example in Toy Story it was just the creation of animation from scratch, and in Monsters Inc it was doing Sully’s fur and in Cars it was doing the shine on the cars.
After that we went to see other things in the Museum such as the electric show, where we saw giant Van de Graaf generators sparking in time to music, a single sided 3D shape, called a Moebius Strip. There were also some dinosaurs and I could tell the difference between a T-rex skull and a Giganotosaurus skull just by looking at it.
We had lunch at the Museum and then walked to the Aquarium, via a produce market, where we waited to go on our Duck ride.
The Duck ride was amusing, with our driver knowing lots of stuff and being very funny about it, but I did say are we going to die several times.
After the Duck we got a taxi back to the hotel. We then caught another one back in to North End and had Italian for dinner, where I had lamb cutlets.
