 |
| Adaline and Tamiko are having a sleepover |
Due to rainy weather, our outing was to the Museum of Natural History in nearby Roger Williams Park.
 |
| Kent, Tamiko, Black Bear, Adaline, Kyle with Levon (KE) |
 |
Model of Outrigger from Kwajalein, Micronesia;
the museum houses many aboriginal artifacts from the
Pacific that had been brought back by local sea captains |
 |
| Fishhooks from Micronesia |
 |
Tridacna gigas/Giant Clam shell, big
enough to be a bassinet! |
 |
Tapa cloth made from the inner bark of mulberry
and breadfruit trees, then decorated using traditional
dyes, often with a stamped pattern; can be found
in Melanesia and Polynesia |
 |
Weapons made with shark's teeth
from the Gilbert Islands, Micronesia |
 |
Cowrie shell headband from the
Marshall Islands, Micronesia |
 |
| Adaline with the birds of Rhode Island |
 |
| Fratercula arctica/Atlantic Puffin |
 |
Half of a typical study of a Victorian naturalist;
it is difficult to see that the cases behind the
desk contain many taxidermied birds |
 |
| The other half of the Victorian study |
 |
A magnet is stuck to Rhode Island's State Rock,
Cumberlandite, an igneous rock |
 |
Phascolarctos cinereus/Koala, an arboreal
herbivorous marsupial from Australia |
 |
| Koala, Adaline, Kyle with Levon (KE) |
 |
Because Caserta's (home of our favorite: Wimpy Skippy)
was closed on Monday, we had lunch at Rincon Domincano:
we shared freshly made pork Mofongo |
