After we spent half the day at the zoo, we walked to the Spanish Village Art Center. There were close to 40 artists there--glass blowers, painters, and any variety of artisans.
We continued on to the Natural History Museum and viewed the Body Worlds Exhibition. This is an exhibit of the human body that has been traveling around the world. It was truly fascinating -- I learned quite a bit about the human body.
The basic premise is that bodies of people who have left their bodies to research and education after their deaths go through process called plastination.
After the plastination process the bodies have been arranged into exhibits that display the awesome creation that is the human body.
The exhibit in San Diego also had a focus on the brain. We watched a film "The Human Body: Pushing the Limits - Brain Power." This is an excellent documentary on the brain and how it function.
I have to say I walked away from this museum with a greater appreciation for our amazing bodies!
Despite being tired after a full day of walking, we stopped at Mission Bay.
We went back to the motel and had supper at a great little Mexican restaurant next door. We ate outside and finished off the meal with churros.
