ok this is part of the group...there is a dike behind me...
We left Vernon at 7:03 this morning and didn't get to Colorado until 6 pm. THE LONGEST DAY OF MY LIFE...ok so it wasn't that bad. I tried to start the day off with a positive attitude...that quickly went out the window, when I almost got left because the line to pee was so long after breakfast. I got to the bus and the door was shut and I stood there, and stood there, thinking..."are you kidding me?!?! i'm on this dang trip; so i don't have my lovely nametag on, but you know i'm on this trip, open the dang door!!" i got on after about 30 seconds of waiting. haha. once we got on the road, i had the pleasure of listening to my roomie talk and talk and talk...not to me...thank goodness, and the lovely girl sitting behind me doesn't know personal discretion, but she knows how to sleep and gripe and smoke. what a lovely combo!! more on her later. we stop in amarillo to make a "quick" restroom break and i get a lesson in cell reception from...guess who??...my roomie...she got a text message 20 minutes after it was sent from her bestest friend in the whole wide world telling her he knew where we were. i told her we had already gone through there and she went on to tell me...he sent this 20 minutes ago when we were there (she wouldn't know she talks the whole time), you know that happens some times you get a message later when there aren't towers around...was i born yesterday??? most used quote of the day..."I've got a story for ya..." yeah i bet you do...you are like Rain Man you know everything...dates, random numbers of random things that no one cares about...like how many bristles are on a tooth brush...heck she might even know how many hairs she has on her head. i learned that if a word is difficult or not often used, the writer will put a synonym after it so the reader can use context clues to get the meaning...dumbass (my roommate)...again i have a degree and i know how to read...thanks!!! at 11:00 am i was informed that i got a text message during the night...i knew i did because there was a MASSIVE storm...lovely...also it was 11:00 am...i had definately seen my phone...thank you AT&T for messaging me that my bill was ready...i'm really grateful for that, but not at 1 in the freaking morning!!!!
on this trip, i have found a teacher i want to be like. she told me today everyone at her school calls her Ms. Frizzle. i told her i wanted to be like her!! this lady is a hoot!! we got walk around a dormant volcano today...it was really high up, but i did it!! i was scared at first...not to mention out of breath and about to pass out walking up...it was good because then you get to go down. i really thought i was going to have to have mouth to mouth and so far on this trip...there is no one's mouth i want near mine. after the volcano we drove on for a bit and then pulled over on the side of the road to look at rocks. while we were out there...looking like TARDS...just imagine a group of older tourists getting out with there cameras, walking around taking pictures, bending over picking up rocks with their massive rear ends pointed toward a major highway...yep that was us!! people kept honking at us...it was amazing!!
really high!! i just wanted to stop, so i took this picture as an excuse.
this is us on the side of the road...there is a dike behind me...
tomorrow we go to the sand dunes!!! what what!!
