Our first day in Canada, the teachers showed us mercy and let us sleep in until 10:00. After a great breakfast of cereal and milk, which we never get, we headed off on our expedition. The Canadian Museum of Technology took us about an hour to drive to, but was well worth it. We got there and signed in. Andy let us have one hour to explore and go see whatever we wanted before we had to be back for the thing we called “the astronomy tent.” It was this big air-filled bubble that we all piled into. After we made ourselves comfortable, we looked up to see the stars. The man that worked for the museum showed us all these new constellations that I had never seen before. It is hard to explain how he showed us the stars. He had a light in the middle of the room and a black piece of medal covering it. My favorite constellation was Orion. I never knew that under Orion there are two dogs. I was disappointed to find out that in July you can not really see Orion and his two dogs. After listening to about 10 bad jokes from the man that showed us the the stars, he turned the lights on. It hurt my eyes after sitting in the dark bubble for about an hour. The bubble was extremely well designed. He told us about how one time the building lost power and the bubble started to deflate on top of them. When we got out of the bubble, Andy was waiting for us. It was 3:00 and none of us had eaten anything so we walked across the street to go to Burger King AKA BK lounge. I got a “Baconator” and large fries. It was amazing.
