Mount Rushmore

We had been driving all day and got to rapid city and all the hotel rooms were taken. So we had to drive another 30 minutes to mount rushmore that night. It was late, the room was small and it took everybody a long time to go to sleep. The hotel did not have breakfast so everyone was tired and hungry and not in a very good mood. But since we were there, we decided to pay the $10 dollar parking fee to see the monument. We hiked up to the viewing area and asked someone to take our picture and the picture above is what we got. I love the pile of rocks behind us. It reminds of the greatness of our country and leaders. I took the picture below and will photoshop them together as soon as we aren't 3 months behind on our posts.


See how happy everyone is to see a part of american history.

That's so funny. It seems that other people don't really care about your pictures, because I have so many pics like that from my mission. I thought it was Spanish people who couldnt' manage to get my head in the picture, are you sure it wasn't a Spanish person who took that?
