Boring Driving Day!! (Day 12, I think) 9/20/09

Today I woke up and had a frozen nose and I was pretty bored.

So I decided to make some oatmeal and washed my laundry as I wrote yesterday's blog. Dad and I then packed up the tent and left. I called mom and we all talked to her a bit. We drove a bit, and listened to a couple discs of Johnny Tremain. We went to a Subway for lunch for the first time in a while. Then Dad and I did some Pimsleur spanish as we drove into New Hampshire. After we drove through a narrow slip of this state, we entered Massachusetts. Now we're Tewksbury near Boston. That pretty much summed up our day.

OK, maybe an exaggeration but today was still boring. Still, I saved you approximately 1 minute and 25 seconds by giving you the Cliffnotes version of my day. You can thank me any time.

However, I forgot to write about when we went down to the tidepools between the Oceanarium and the lobster place on the 'Lobsters!!' day. We went down because Greta wanted to compare the stuff that appears in rock tidepools to the stuff in sand tidepools. I was pretty unimpressed with it until Greta showed me how seagulls crack open mussels. She said they picked them up, got some elevation and dropped them until they broke. I, of course, did not believe her in the slightest. Until I saw one pick up a mussell, climb up about 20 feet and then drop it, and then retrieve it and eat it.

I pointed this out to my dubious Dad, and he recieved the same flabbergasting sight as I. Greta, of course, already new this and so she re-explained it to us with a quizzical level of nonchalance.

We took a couple pics, and left to eat our Lobbys (Yes, the hotel did make us pay for the damage.) (Just kidding). Posts of pics in a couple days.
