thelivingdead531 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 This past Wednesday I got to meet Trix in person, and is she beautiful or what?? I immediately fell in love with her. I could have stayed and looked at her for hours, but it was crowded and sweltering in the building (all buildings actually) so we didn’t stay too long. We also toured the Museum of paleontology, but by the time I made it to the third floor (husband and child chose to sit that floor out) I practically ran through it, it was just too hot to stroll around leisurely anymore. So the photos aren’t my best, but it’s what you get. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hope you're enjoying your holiday, Candace. Lovely photos, it certainly looks like they've packed a huge amount into the available floorspace. Shame they don't have decent air-conditioning though. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

I’m glad I was able to see Trix in person and the wonderful museums that Paris has. 15 minutes ago, Tidgy's Dad said: Hope you're enjoying your holiday, Candace.

We did enjoy the places we visited and things we saw. The museums were my favorite (and the catacombs). They did have a lot of specimens packed in there, but it was done in an aesthetically pleasing way. It didn’t look like everything was thrown in carelessly. I wish they had better air circulation though. There were some vents blowing cold air that people would stand over, but it only went so far. Still, it was worth it.

If I knew how to copy and paste entire threads I would do it for you, but I’m clueless on how that works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I thought it was partly Olof/lordtrilobite, just couldn’t remember exactly. Vertebrate fossils of the decade? Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chele (from the forum) and her husband found the T. rex. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (I wonder what has happened to chele). I love the Paris museum. One of my favorites...it is so old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
