Heads up to my fan-base (har har) commenting is enabled for non-live-journal users. :)
Today was yet another fairly slow day. Though not quite as slow as the past few. Started out with me getting up by 8, walking in on Mamwa in the bathroom *facepalm* I didn't think she was awake...
Anyway I got my shower, poked Lee to come make breakfast and we had crape styled pancakes. Not bad, but not what I'm used to. Ummm, hung out in his room a bit, then hung out in the living room watching TV while waiting for Penny and Eddy to show up. They were due about 11, arrived around 12.
Pretty drive out to Fall Creek Falls. They're amazingly beautiful falls too! Got pictures I'll share later with you all. Lee and I hiked down to the bottom of the falls (over an old rock slide path, the rocks quite slick) and we got sprayed by some mist. I hope some of my pictures turned out. Really neat, very beautiful, totally worth the little hike experience. Hiked back up and figured out Lee left his water up top, luckily it was still there when we arrived. Hit the non-locking bathrooms before heading back to the car and setting off for Lunch.
Ate at ... "This way Inn" ? I think. They had a buffet, gift shop, and it was a hotel type deal. Really cute. I had steak :3 Quite stuffed after. we didn't get out until just about 3. Prices were fair, not quite as cheap as in-dunlap prices. But my steak was $15 and it came with a salad bar and desert. Lee got the $8 buffet. So quite nice.
After we discussed heading to the Nature Center, but opted out. Driving by it didn't seem really worth it, a cute swimming hole but not much more.
Penny took us on a really beautiful drive, lots of horses, rolling green hills, massive houses and just total beauty. I'd love to live out here (without the bugs...). Colorado is truly beautiful, but this is the kind of place I can be really active in. Nothing's to difficult, or far away, there's not that much tourists. It's just really nice.
All the local adults I've talked to seem pretty nice. I know my personality is a bit coarse and not everyone can get along with me, but I am trying quite hard. I'm quite witty and enjoy using my smarts/knowledge to my advantage. Sadly that makes me tend to come off as cocky. I have no problem admitting things I don't know, but if I do know something I'm pretty argumentative over it. ... at least when it comes to animals...
SO tomorrow we're planning on doing the "Incline" it's only $15 per person round trip (or so). Goes up a steep hill, I really can't wait to go DOWN it. Hehe.
Stomach has been easily upset today, both with what I'm drinking and eating. Not cool. Though I'm coughing still, still pretty hoarse for the first few hours of the day, tired, and just bleeeh.
Penny helped me figure out what time I need to be ready by early Sunday. Which is 3:30am local time. Plane leaves at 7ish local-airport time. Airport's about an hour away, Eddy's coming to get me at 4 (5 airport time) so I should be fine... I hope? >
