The administrator is throwing lettuce...I LOVE this school!

So we started Hebrew/Greek today and it really wasn't as bad as we were all afraid it would be. Mind you it was basically just the introduction stuff this morning so...it'll probs get a lot worse. We did mostly Greek this morning and this afternoon we are doing some Hebrew. I'm scared! Hebrew is like SOOOOOO foreign. It just looks like a bunch of lines and dots!

We had like the BEST hamburgers for lunch today. There was bacon left over from breakfast, fried mushrooms - like huge mushrooms, and fat homemade burgers. SO good. They were like picture worthy, seriously I wish I had my camera! Just as we were finishing up, Stephen got a bunch of lettuce thrown at him and we found it, it was Holly only she had meant to hit Josh. bahaha, it was pretty awesome.

So anyways, I was gonna tell y'all about Yellowstone a bit. We spent 12 hours in that bus but it felt like so much less. We had an awesome tour guide who had the day off but came with us so we learned SO much. We saw Old Faithful at the 10:35 eruption (it went off at 10:45) and it was SOOO cool. I took a begillion pictures (gotta love continuous function on the camera!).

Then we headed to this HUGE hot spring place where the water just sits in pools of boiling crystal blue water and the steam blows all over and it's all warm and it doesn't even smell. The big one was called the Excelsoir Geyser Crater because it used to be a huge geyser but doesn't erupt anymore. The bacteria mats all around the springs are pretty cool too, all bright orange and awesome-looking.


Then we moved on to the mud pots which were basically hot springs with mud on them so it all like bubbles grossly and it's not really that pretty but there was some cool things to see there. Oh, the sulfur smell as pretty fab around here too. haha. Jesse (our guide) told us this story of a dog that ran into one of the hot pools and like boiled to death and a guy who jumped in to save him died as well. Sooooo gross!

We then journeyed to the falls. I don't know what they were called other than upper and lower. We went to three viewpoints: top of the upper, top of the lower and the lower from a distance. This pic is from the top of the lower. There are a couple more on the picture is from the lower falls which are bigger I believe.

So that was super cool but also irritating because we had a pretty long walk down to the falls but then, an arduous walk back up all these switchbacks and we were all having nightmarish flash-backs to our backpacking trip!

The last main stop was the mud volcano...it wasn't very volcanic...but there was also this cool hot spring with a cave where all this steam came out and it sounded like a dragon breathing!!! pretty neat I have to say. As we left, we saw a bunch of Bison and that basically completed my day with much happiness.

The final stop, besides the one by the sign was for ice-cream and souvenirs and I got a copper bracelet and some delicious ice-cream. All-in-all it was a fabulous day and I think everyone should come see this amazing park in their lifetime. We didn't even get to the upper loop of the park so there is TONS more to see and I don't know that it would ever get old to me. God's creation is unbelievable even in its cursed state - can you imagine how amazing it would be as it was created!! No...we can't because we have these cursed, fallen minds so we can't even IMAGINE something that beautiful!
