MT RUSHMORE, SOUTH DAKOTA

OMG I FINALLY SAW THE MOST AWAITED THING..MT RUSHMORE! THE 4 PRESIDENT FACES ON A GRANITE WALL!!! FINALLY!!! but sadly the weather was horrible. damn foggy. Chubs kept saying Mt Rushmore is fogged up hahaha But nevertheless, i wouldnt have gave up the chance of seeing it. But I thought it might look nicer if they had blue blue clouds at the back as background, makes the pictures look so much nicer. And can u believed it, it snowed in the night la when we were there to catch the lighting up ceremony. Can u imagine? snow in may?? woww.. i thought such weather ended back in the old days of atlanta. hahaha and we were totally not in our winter wear. cold ttm. but i must say it was a damn enriching thing to learn a little of US history and the endless work put in to carve the face of 4 americans who did their part. Felt rather patriotic after the ceremony especially when they were playing the American anthem. They even invited like military or any war veterans up to the stage to honor them. Quite cool.

But wow I finally saw that huge huge big 4 faces. Really quite cool how they manage to build it. I wished they could build a platform that allows the tourist to see it nearer or have like helicopter flights to view the 4 faces close up. I think I ll be more awe-strucked if I saw it in closer view. And I think weathering has taken place alrdy. Somehow the presidents look like they were crying la. Weirdddd.

So do you know who are the 4 presidents on mt rushmore? They are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, each represent the birth, growth, preservation and development of United States.

And who was the brave man who built it? Gutzon Blurgon. I love his words.

"Mt Rushmore is eternal. It will stand until the end of time. Ten thousand years from now, our civilisation will have passed without leaving a trace. A new race of people will inhabit the earth. They will come to Mt Rushmore and read the records we have made. Hence, let us place there, carved high, as close to heaven as we can, the words of our leaders, their faces to show posterity what manner of men they were. Then breathe a prayer that these records will endure until the wind and the rain alone shall wear them away. "

Such words of passion and patriotism.

Then we did a super funny video at mt rushmore..cant wait to see it on facebook hahaha. It was real fun and funny. Damn high halfway through trail.

Awesome day.
