Day (s) ~ Six, Seven and Eight

I have not been able to update in a while because the computer keeps freezing when I go to Internet pages. It isn't bad when I'm using SN or Skype though. It has really been getting on my nerves, but I think I will survive.

Day Six (Canada Day!)

We went to Celestial Seasonings, the big factory where all the tea is made. Is was so cool to see all the machinery and stuff. My favorite part of that tour was the Mint room. It was sooo over powering that every pore in my body just opened up almost instantly and absorbed the crazy minty smell. I ended up having to buy some Peppermint lip balm because I loved the smell so much. My sweater STILL smells like Mint. Unfortunately we went while they were doing Inventory so we didn't get to see the factory in motion. The nice thing about that was that we didn't have to wear hairnets. haha. It was still a very nice visit though. Other than that we didn't do much... it's sometimes nice just to unwind I think. OH! I do believe we went for a swim though... or that may have been the day before, I dunno. Haven't been swimming since.

Day Seven

I don't really remember doing anything too exciting yesterday... I did go for a nice long walk in the rain. I got a little lost, but eventually found my way back home. I get lost so easily... but my pride prevents me from turning back he way I came. haha. I guess I'm a bit silly that way. My directional sense is still worse than ever : P Don't worry though... I always get to my destination... eventually. After I got home we went for a family bike ride. I usually try to get out of those but Pat bribed me with Dairy Queen... for some reason I couldn't resist... He said "It's not like we're holding a gun to your head". Unfortunately sometimes that is what it feels like... ahaha... anyways... we went on our bike ride and I got this huuuuge dip cone. It was dipped in Cherry stuff... I made a loud statement about how we don't have that in Canada... and I got a few weird looks, and I'm sure my long sleeves, pants and Astro Boy buckle weren't helping. On the way back from the Dairy Queen after the ice cream I thought I was going to die... I was panting like a dog, it was horrible! I hit my knees off the pedals when I took off because the bike seat is a little too low for me. Pat said he would change that for next time... (next time??? O___O;;) biking home after ice cream kinda made me feel like I was at Fat Camp or something.

Day Eight (today!)

We went up to this little Cowboy town in the mountains around 8500ft in elevation. It's the town where they have the "Frozen Dead Guy". He's this old guy who is frozen until they find a safe way to unfreeze him and bring him back to life. It's a really big thing there, they have a huuuge "Frozen Dead Guy" festival every year. Too bad I won't be around for that. We had some ice cream while we there and Caroline taught ne how to use the camera that I am borrowing. It's pretty much all manual... sooo much easier than the ones they made us use in class. ahaha. The mountain view was sooo beautiful from where we were. We also saw the rapids from the waterfall. We were planning on going up to the waterfall and sticking our feet in, but it was closed. It's been raining a lot so the water level is unusually high here. We did stop on the way down and stuck our feet in the rapids. It was very cold, but since I already have cold damage in both my feet I didn't really feel much numbness like my uncle and cousins did. Cold damage is bad... but you get used to it.

Well... I think that's pretty much it for now folkals. I'm still scaly like a dragon : P
OH. Tomorrow is the Fourth of July and I am very excited for the celebration. We will be going to this huuuge stadium in the university where there will be performers and fireworks. It will be sooo cool. I will try and get some shots with my borrowed camera if I can :3
I'll upload my pictures once I feel like there are enough. haha... and those other ones I promised a while ago... hmm maybe I'll just do a big entry for photos near the end from start to finish :3

DESTINY

P.S. Still missing my friends... but I will make some new ones soon.

P.P.S. who wants my next letter?
