I still need to plan a visit to our California Science Center to get a closer look at the space shuttle, Endeavor. <br /><br />I appreciate you taking the time to interact with my readers and wish you a belated Happy Australia Day!

I've been watching the TV show "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" and would love to tour the USA from one restaurant to the next! Of course, I'd have to buy new clothes along the way as a result of all that good eating! ;) Walking through museums would help prevent the new clothes thing.Jenny Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320451924849353120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466932581579081433.post-12270194390871741922016-01-27T21:00:32.951-08:002016-01-27T21:00:32.951-08:00Rae - oh wow!

There's a town a few hours south of where I live that has those statues - Cowaramup - if you google Deja Moo 2015 you'll see they had a celebratory gathering of people in cow costumes last year. Ahem.

I won't add the links in case that marks my post as spam, but a quick google will bring them up.<br /><br />The West Australian Maritime Museum has a fantastic collection of things from the 1600s and 1700s where European ships on their way to the spices of Indonesia and Malaysia mis-steered and hit the Australian coast. It also has a submarine concreted above ground that you're allowed to tour. It is very cool -- although not literally! When I visited it, it was a really hot day and that thing was baking!<br /><br />The second museum is the old Fremantle Prison which is a world heritage site. It's probably also the only place in the world where you can go on a boat ride BENEATH a prison. And no, I'm not joking. And yes, I remember when the museum was a real high security prison! I am *that* old! Jenny Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320451924849353120noreply@blogger.com
