Bats Driving the Bus



Caption: "Mommy, I get to drive the bus this time!!"

Spent the afternoon at the New York Transit Museum. Took this shot on self-timer. Yeah, I'm a goofball.

Incidentally, it's a pretty neat museum: it's an abandoned subway stop that is now all exhibits. The lower floor is still the subway platform: they have collected subway cars from the 1900's through the 1960's, and you can tour around inside them. The upper floor has a pretty large selection of exhibits, from subways to buses (as evidenced above) to the elevated rail lines. The entrance is, well, just another subway entrance, except with "New York Transit Museum" instead of "59 St Columbus Circle A C E 1 9."

If any of you are visiting New York and have children or nephews/nieces, it's a pretty fun and kid-friendly museum. At least it seemed that way--a whole bunch of kids were running around there. Then again, I probably act like a great big kid in there too ("Oooh neat! Cut-and-cover tunnels! Look look!")
