Today was my friend Pauette’s birthday. She is a Gemini too! For our special birthday treat we went on a behind the scenes tour of the new Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. We were suppose to be a part of a larger tour, but when we got there we were the only ones in the group. We also had 3 docents! We saw the internal workings of the museum, back in deep vaults of thousands of botanical specimens from as far back as the 1800’s. Also we got chance to see the entomology vaults as well. Thousands of insects, stunning butterflies, huge gigantic moths with long proboscises (tongues) about 12 inches long! Nature is truly marvelous!
