| Across from my hotel, the Public Library donated to the people from Andrew Carnegie. It is now closed, sadly, but the building is beautiful. |

Two different pedicab drivers. I had a nice blanket and padded seat with a shade cover, all fun.

| Outside of the back entrance, on the mall, are pedicab drivers lined up. It's a great way to see the city to get back to your hotel. |

| Wow! Very impressive minerals, and you have done a nice job showing so many. I like the signs describing the uses of the minerals. And I love the Norway Zircon in IMG_3115.jpg.
