Today is Saturday and heavy rain was forecasted. We drove to the Tar Pits and managed to park nearby, realising there were museums close by too.

The tar pits are so interesting. Over millions of years the oozing oil and tar trapped dinosaurs and ancient animals. Their remains are being found all the time. We saw many examples of skeletons and reconstructions of the animals. In the lab we saw the technicians sorting through tiny remains under microscopes. The way everything was explained and displayed was fabulous. Hope you like the photos.

Next the skies looked full of clouds so we decided to visit the museum of modern art. There are 5 huge buildings and sculptures outside. Again there were so many people around it was awkward to take the photos.

There were several Picasso pictures and Matisse. We saw so many items from all over the world. We both found lots to interest us but some were weird and hard to believe are art. Not on our wave length.

At 3.30pm the rain showers started, but good timing as we were getting tired, we had walked so far around the exhibitions!

Tomorrow we fly out at 11pm Sunday and then lose a day as we arrive in N Z on Tuesday! How does that work Lily?

Love to you all
