Finding Nature in NYC
There's nothing quite as satisifying, and at the same time strange, as fulfilling my nature-lust in New York City.
In early June, I got to put a great big checkmark on one of the items on my life list: a trip to the American Museum of Natural History. For five hours, I prowled the halls and exhibits of the museum, drunk from the detailed dioramas, articulated skeletons, fossils, gemstones, replicas, and so much more. It was spectacular.
A few days later, a NYC friend and I made our way to Evolution Nature Store in SoHo where I had a very unusal shopping list: muskrat skull, native silver nugget, dried starfish, fossilized sand dollar, butterfly wing, and a slab of slate filled with ammonite fossils. Ah, heaven!
