The time of the dinosaurs would come to an end after the coming of the cretaceous-paleogene extinction event. There are several theories about how this came about. One insists that volcanic activity suffocated the majority of earths creatures and stripped the land of plant life and oxygen required to sustain larger creatures like dinosaurs, a similar theory suggests that the ending ice ages lead to a large scale escape of methane gas to the same effect while yet another suggests that herds of large plant-eating dinosaurs produced enough methane to suffocate the planet. Other causes suggest that a meteorite the size of Manhattan struck the planet causing great devestation and terrible elemental effects such as storms, volcanic activity and tsunamis alongside a gassious shroud which stripped the earth of oxygen suffocating most life before initiating an ice age which cold blooded dinosaurs could not survive. Another theory suggests that food shortages and famine or the spread of plague were to blame. Proponents of the “Ancient Astronauts Theory” speculate that the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs may have been a landing or crashing spacecraft which may have bought alien or humanoid crew and begun the process of reteraforming the earth. In any case, the result of this extinction level event was the death of the dinosaurs paving the way for the eventual rise of mammalian life.

I wonder how old that place is...

Sorry that some of the pictures are a little blurry.  It’s really crowded here and the wind is strong enough that gusts will make my arms move when I’m trying to take a picture.

Pics 4-5 are just of the beginning of the shopping street.  More to come!

I think I’ve taken more panos today that I have since my trip to Japan last summer.  But there are just too many pretty things to take panos of!  Not that I’m trying to say I’m a good photographer (I’m very much aware of my point-and-shoot tendencies), but doesn’t this kind of look like a postcard?  I tried really hard to get the stairs centered in the frame (no easy task for a pano, I tell you!).  Either way, I think this might be one of my favorite pics so far this trip.
