Taking It Easy!? (7/18)

So I am on Winter Break. I was wondering what to do around Santiago, when I remembered that there is a musuem of natural history in Quinta Normal. Well, that is my style. So I head into unexplored territory to see if I can find this museum. Well. I did eventually. But I got off the bus in familiar territory because I thought it was just a little walk to the place. Ernt! Wrong! I walked and walked and walked and walked. (Are you getting the idea that I walked pretty far?) I finally asked somebody if they could direct me to this place, and they told me I was only four blocks away. They were "four" very long blocks, but I did find it. Then, I couldn't figure out how to get into the fenced in park. I walked one way, then back again. I found this little, side gate to this big park. I know it wasn't where I was supposed to get in, but after walking all that way, I didn't care. So now I had only to find the building. There was a huge building that I figured had to be it, but I walked around three sides of the building before I found the enterance. After finally getting there, I didn't really want to walk around inside the museum. But I am glad I did. I really enjoyed the displays about the Atacama Desert (since I had just visited it) and mining. The nice thing is I could take a bus from the real park enterance all the way home. It was well worth the walk. Well. Almost!
