Today, we visited the Library Of Congress and the Museum of Natural history. The Library Of Congress didn't have a lot to see but it looked nice at least. The Natural History museum had lots more to see and do. I will say however, the Library at least looked a bit better than the museum.
The Library Of Congress is basically a large library filled with government documents and reference material. People hardly use it anymore however due to the advent of the Internet. The Museum of Natural History is a gathering of all sorts of natural things from around the world. From animals to minerals to dinosaurs, it's all there. Even things like technology are also shown.
What I learned from today is how diverse nature is in animals and organisms. The whole museum had things about almost every animal imaginable, extinct or not. The similarities between these animals were also very similar in some places but very different in others. The diversity is truly something to behold. The diversity is most likely because of habitats and living spaces but it's still interesting.
What I liked most about today would probably have to be the History museum. Like I said before, there was a lot to see and a lot to do. It was all very nice to look at. But it was very easy to get lost in the place. Probably because there was so much there.
What I disliked the most would probably be the Library. Now sure it looked nice as a building, but it was a library, ad libraries tend to be a little stale. Sure we didn't actually go into the library portion itself but we still saw a lot of it and it looked pretty boring. Not only that but we didn't really learn anything from it either. Other than that Thomas Jefferson donated books or something.
How can today relate to my life? Well, we see nature all the time. It's all around us everywhere we go. Complex ecosystems and various bits of nature are seen all over the place everywhere. We see it without knowing it. And we should appreciate it. After all, nature produces things we need to live like food and oxygen so it's only fair.
