Field Trip!

Today we went to the museum and saw fascinating stuff like old passports, coins, tools (actually, old tools don't fascinate me), costumes and an intricate paper-and-wood lantern shaped like a boat.

Then we climbed to the top of the July 22 Arch. I was briefly reminded of climbing the Bunker Hill Monument in 8th grade, except the staircase in the Arch was wider, better-lit, and not covered in slime.

Also, several weeks ago an albino fly landed on my notebook.

Hey! Your blog is made of much awesomeness.
Also, I was looking at Dylan's Photos and suspected that you were in photo _DSC2129, but I could only see the back of you. Then I went to the next page and saw that yes, it was you. So it was WAY COOL to see you in the Gambia, even if I did not get to use my mad deduction skillz.

Love, Evelyn a.k.a. Bif

And your comment is made of much hilariousness. Thank you for using the phrase "mad deduction skillz."
