Our field trip was a success!

We had a great time on our field trip Friday. 

First we went to the Museo  Arqueológico Nacional. We got to see many artifacts related to the Visigoths, Al-Andalus, the Christian Kingdoms, and the Early Modern period.   For example:

We did not have time to see the other wonderful exhibits in the museum, but there is good news!  You can visit the museum for free on Saturday afternoons (starting at 2pm) and Sunday mornings!  Here is the web page of the Museum so you can plan your visit.  Don't miss the exhibits on Prehistoric Era, Roman Times, and the Egyptians!

After the museum, we had a lovely walk in Retiro Park.  

We saw birds:

Reptiles:

and some invertebrates-- an earthworm!  

Do you remember which type of invertebrate it is?  It's an annelid-- long, soft body divided into rings (segments).  

We also saw many plants--   seed-producing plants such as conifers (which are gymnosperms) and also flowering plants (angiosperms).  

Did you see any non-seed plants (like mosses or ferns)?

All in all, it was a wonderful day!
