After all the hassles of Saturday (see previous post), Sunday has turned out to be a hell of a lot better.

We visited the Natural History Museum which has got an exhibition on called “Cosmic Collisions”.   You get shuffled into a theater where the whole roof is the screen.   Robert Redford narrated a story about how the moon was formed after a meteor hit the earth and the fragments that where displaced merged together to form the moon. Apparently it only look 1 month.   They also had a cool exhibition on about marine animals which I had some fun photographing.

We also had a wonder down through times square and found the avenue Q theater. Apparently 30 minutes before each show they sell 12 front row tickets for $20 each (they are normally $110).   They do this by lottery, but it seems that on a Sunday evening, not that many people are interested in hanging around on Broadway for 30 minutes whilst they hold the draw. There must have only been 7 people waiting.   Anyway we got 2 tickets and felt very smug walking down to the middle of the front row.

If you haven’t heard of it Avenue Q is a bit like a musical adult Sesame Street, with songs like “Everyone’s a little bit racist”, “The internet is for porn” and “what do you do with a BA in English?” you get the point.
