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.
