Gene Autry Museum. Saturday. 23 july

The day started as usually with breakfast and the great excitment, in this case, of going to the Gene Autry museum for the morning and a part of the afternoon. The girls and I braded our hair and all of us dressed like couboys for the occasion, with cowboy hats and jeans, and some girls wore their boots. Jeffrey's fieldtrip group, me and my group, had a two-hour tour with our lovely guide Jan. She showed us the beautiful baskets that the Native Americans did many years ago, and that they used baskets for all things like fishing, like bottles, and oven boots! It was impressive. We saw a lot of old ropes they wore, and their wagons. We saw many dissected animals and we got to touch their fur with a little special equipment for visitors. It smelled weird. It smelled like something you don't take out of your wardrope for a long, long time. We learned some cool stuff about this native americans, like they saved the belly botton of their babies and it was like their spiritual ID. And also, that people do that today but for medical purposes. Makes one think about the ancient wisdom of those people. This was truly amazing, but so tiring! After the tour, we were very hungry so we went to the restaurant with our special Autry Museum bucks. I got a quesadilla, and it was delicious. It reminded me of home, because my mum sometimes makes some with thicker bread, but it was just about the same taste. The cheese was not very salty like others I have tasted since we got here. So I loved it. I also had some Philadelphia cheese. It gavee the quesadilla extra flavor, and little bit more softness. Later, we could take pictures with a horse in exhibition that usually is for children but we liked it. Also, we could go see the little gift shop. But I think that name is totally wrong! I did not like too much the prices. There was no gift there! It was so expensive! We were tired but no so much to not seize the other trip to the other Mall. I did not buy a lot, but I had lots of fun laughing about many things I saw with Estefanía and some other friends of SUPP. At the end of the day, we got to keep our hats. Isn't that nice?
