2-15-09 Hajj Movie

We went down to the Natural History Museum this morning to see the IMAX movie about the 14th century explorer Ibn Battuta's pilgrimage from Morroco to Mecca for the Hajj. We took a bus and a train and got there at opening time, 10am. The movie was pretty good, mixing scenes from Ibn's time (acted) with modern scenes from the Hajj. Ibn went off exploring the world after his pilgrimage and traveled three times as far as Marco Polo.
After that, we went to the display on American Sisters in the Ripley Center. It's a good show also, talking about all the contributions that sisters have made in this country. We headed home after that, stopping at Cosi for lunch.
Rest of the day at home . It started to snow lightly at about 3pm. Ugh. Supposed to be light.
