Museo de Vida Silvestre

The Museum of Wild Life (Museo de Vida Silvestre) is a must see if you come to P.R. I finally had the chance to go today and visit the museum that had my friends talking for weeks. This morning my little brother's godmother came over to visit, and since it was the first day of vacation for my brothers we wanted to do something cool and different. So I invited them to come with me to the museum, at first I had to convince them to go, but after I blackmailed them everything went OK! 


This museum had wild life written all over it! Literally it had, as soon as you get there you see this huge elephant statue right in front of the entrance to the museum and to an elephant lover like me I just fell in love with the place at first glance. I even named the elephant, Milo!!!

The experience was unique and great, but I do suggest you take a jacket cause its cold inside! The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 10am to 6pm. They have 12 different exhibitions focusing on the different biomes the world has. Among them they have the Savannah, Grasslands, Desert, Rainforest and more. In each and one of this biomes they have animals that are commonly found in that area. Dont worry the animals arent real, they are sculptures made of foam that are given the srtucture of the animal. Then they attach the fur of the animal and voula you have a almost real life looking sculpture of the animal. 

The museum is not that big, but it offers the best service and tours ever. They also have an amphitheater that they use to display movies like Chimpanzee, African Cats or local documentaries of P.R. faunas. 

So therefore I encourage you all, those who live in Puerto Rico and those who come to visit, to go to this museum. Families will have a great time together, friends can joke around and adults can chill. To read more about it and get full information on museum price and everything heres the link to their website!

"Lego Art" a documentary

When we hear the word "Lego" the first thing that comes to our mind is, well Lego!

For years Lego have been one thing everyone has managed to play with once in their life's. Just the feeling you get of building something out of those small blocks and actually playing with it was one of the best feelings I had  during my childhood. At first Lego to me were just, a way of killing time in a entertaining way. Now I see Legos have become a way of art, of  making movies, theme parks and even portraits. In the new PBS web series about Legos we can see the different and yet wonderful ways artist use them!

I really cant stop seeing the video, I mean the idea or just even the though that your old toys can become something more than just toys is so cool!!

Up, the real thing!

On March 15th, National Geographic Launched a balloon house inspired by the Pixar movie Up! (Those of you who haven't seen the movie I recommend you do!) How was this possible? Well thanks to a team of scientist, engineers, two balloon pilots and lots of volunteers a 16x16 foot house was built and 300 weather balloons (8 feet in diameter) were attached to it.

Once finished the house took flight and rose to about 10,00 feet off the ground and flew for one whole hour.  This helps us see that man can really do anything if they work hard for it. That we can do anything no matter how extravagant it seems. With lots of hard work and hope, we can make it!! 

Remember go watch Pixar's Up! You'll love it, trust me!
