Bienvenidos al Museo del Desierto

Hi
Today I am going to tell you about a famous museum in our city. It is called “Museo del desierto” (Desert museum).
In front of the museum we can see a fountain. There you can make a wish & throw a coin. They say that your wish will come true. When we enter the museum, we can see souvenir stores and then we would enter the museum.
In the museum they exhibit and explain the process of the formation of deserts. They have interactive exhibits of desert plants. We also see the Laboratory of fossils and lot of dinosaur fossils. They are big and nice to see. Many fossils of dinosaurs have been found in Rincon Colarado. It is in our state and near our city. There is also an interactive section showing different dinosaurs and their names. There is a section for kids, where you can draw, paint or sew many things.
There are exhibits and models of things that humans used a long time ago in this state. There is a compartment of train which was used in the past. When you are inside, the guide will move the train and you feel like that you are going in the train.
Then they have replicas of mammoth and stuffings of different animals like leopards, puma, cats, deers, bears, deers, fox, etc. There we can picture ourselves amidst whole animals and also among hunted heads of deers. There is a section for bats and snakes. Finally there is a section showing Coahuila 70 million years ago, which contains lot of plants, waterfall, crocodiles, turtles, etc. We also see a large section of different types of cactus. When we come out of the museum, there is a section to play with water flow and artificial rain, where we can get wet.
Appa took me and amma as soon as we came here. Amma says it happened during the first week (3rd April, 2002). We bought one cactus during that trip and still have it with us in our home. After that we went several times. Last week (4th February) we went again to the museum with two friends, Dr. Ajith and Dr. Alice who are from England and with Angel. They have come here to visit one of their Mexican friends; Dr. Pepe Reyes. Angel is the son of Dr. Pepe Reyes. Dr. Ajith enquired about Indians with their friend and came to know our presence from Dr. Carlos, who is working with Dr. Pepe and also a friend of Dra. Ana. Then they both visited us. They were happy to see us and we were happy too. I like to go to this museum. I would like to go as a volunteer to this museum and to be a guide.
