Museum of Civilization, Hull Quebec. Another interesting day was had by all. We crossed into Hull, Que, to visit the Museum of Civilization. Another city and another amazing museum full with history.
They had a special exibit that we all took in. It was the ancient city of Petra, in Jordan. It is quite a story and too long to go into here. Ancient peoples were very ingenious as well as inventive. Yvonne's favorite part of the day was the Children's Museum as there were hours and hours of just kid things to do. Leslie and I took turns at Petra as well the rest of the museum, while she played her heart out. As you can see by the first picture Yvonne got spotted by a man in uniform, and gave her a card of an RCMP officer with his horse from the musical ride. They had quite a chat and he gave her a Canadian flag pin as well. A very interesting gentleman to be sure.
After my turn amongst the screaming kids, I had a quick walk through the rest of the museum. It is a 3 day walk, if you want to see it all. The second Pic is the roof on the top floor and only shows a small part of what is there. The top floor is a history of Canadians coast to coast during the early times in Canada. The bottom floor is also a history of our First Nations people, their history, lives and art. It was 92F today so after walking in the museum all day the pool sure felt good to cool down. Sleep will come erly tonight.
