Story

We had fun at this little museum off the beaten path. The automatons were fun although I was expecting for there to be more of them. And the magic museum was fun too, but it felt more like a private collection of magic memorabilia than an actual museum. They had a little stage where they had a magician doing his act. I think he didn't get to perform for people very often because he dragged his act out a lot longer than we had time for. Our bus was sitting in the middle of the street waiting for people and blocking traffic, and I was still inside watching the show. Tara came back inside and got me because the bus was leaving without people.
