Anywhere but here
I'm dreaming of somewhere far far away from this computer screen. I can't wait for our weekend trek down to half moon bay! Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Pumpkin Patches, the haunted restaurant that was once on unsolved mysteries and the best salsa bar in northern CA!

The white raven
It was over 80 degrees in the city today! WHEW! It was so hot that I could barely stand to be outside, so Chesley and I ventured to the Academy of Sciences and boy was it great! The Albino Alligator was stained with blood from its recent feast and the dragon seahorses were out promenading with full glory!
The warm weather definitely calls for some night time adventures, perhaps to one of the city's many staircases? I can't wait!

Voir - La Collection Spitzner
Images are from a comic book called "The Spitzner Museum's Wax Woman."
Pierre Spitzner's traveling museum, the "Musee Spitzner": a collection of anatomical models, moulages, specimens, paintings, dioramas, etc., that toured Europe for about a century before being dismantled circa WW2. Some of the Spitzner pieces ended up at the University of Paris, but unfortunately many others are now lost. The Spitzner's centerpiece was a wax anatomical model of a sleeping woman, which opened to reveal her internal organs.
Mutter Museum
The Mutter Museum is a medical museum located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The museum contains a collection of medical oddities, anatomical, and pathological specimens, wax models, and antique medical equipment! This is a necessary stop for the next across country road trip!
