Today, we visited Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. Just before choosing which gallery to enter, you came across a beautiful garden of all types of flowers. The gallery I chose to enter was Grande Galerie de l'Evolution. 3 or 4 floors of ANIMALS! It was excellent. Although I was hoping for a timeline of how species came to be and the environmental changes that affected the evolution process of each one, it was nice to be reminded that we are not necesarily superior to any other creature on this earth. Visiting this museum really complemented the entire trip to Paris. So far we have seen man made beauty through architecture, through paintings, through sculptures, etc. Having thousands of different types of species in front of me was somewhat overwhelming because, especially in Brownsville, I seem to forget what beauties nature renders. In fact, man is just one other "miracle" mother earth has created! I am grateful for being reminded, though because it really does humbled me. It reminded me that we are all sharing this earth like we are, for example, the kitchen in the foyer where we are staying in Paris. We all need to put our part in order to maintain it! GO GREEN! :P
