Mark & I wandered downtown to see this place – located in the old railway station for the city. Like many train stations from a certain period here in the US – Grand Central, Union etc. it’s very spectacular with marble floorings and walls, and you can still see the walkways to the different platforms and the signs for newspapers and such like – which gives the place a very distinctive feel.
| There’s lots of interactive stuff to see and do, which we duly did, including having a change to sit in the ‘return to earth’ capsule from one of the early space missions. It’s incredibly tight and claustrophobic, feels a little bit like being buried alive. Managed to just about extricate myself with some dignity still in tact, but not much. |  |
After that we watched a highly forgettable multimedia presentation in the IMAX Centre and Planetarium, before heading back home to meet up with Molly's parents - Judy and Cary - who had travelled up from Tennessee that day for Thanksgiving. Oh and I went for a 30 minute run outside - just going round the block half a dozen times, before we settled back and watched Location Location Location and Changing Rooms on BBC America - all slightly surreal...!!!
