What A Day!

Or maybe this should be titled: "Things I have never seen before!"

In sort of reverse order:


1. Tight rope walking - we were heading home for the day when a child behind us was looking through a pair of binoculars and cried out, "Look! Up There!" So naturally we all looked and there was an individual walking a tight rope between two very tall buildings. None of us had ever seen that before so we stopped, watched, and using the nearly 10x digital zoom on our cameras got photos of the last half of his walk.


2. Butterflies Galore - some of us were more fond of this than others. I, for instance, deposited my audio tour equipment and exited this VERY quickly and found a nice bench in the outdoor park where I napped in the shade while Jean made some very colorful friends. She had several of the 50 species land on her and took pictures of several.


3. Class 6 Rapids - these have killed enough people who attempted to swim or float through them that there is a $10,000 fine for trying to make it through them - that is, if you live to tell the story. This is a very impressive river!
