Ahhhh Mars, that is soooooooo exciting about getting a horse!! Let us know when you have a show because I definitely wanna come see! :)
Ok so I'm currently at my grandma's house in Florida and her internet is terrible! She still has dial-up, so when you log-on, it makes those weird sounds and sounds like you're calling someone, it cuts off her phone line (so i try to stay on the internet for as short of a time as possible) and takes a ridiculously long time to load anything on the internet. But then again, whenever I complain about the internet problems, my parents lecture me about how I shouldn't be on the internet and I should take advantage of the weather and things to do outdoors. Ok, they have a good point. But still!! I guess I've just become accustomed to wi-fi: it's fast and you can use your computer anywhere.
Yesterday, my mom and I flew to Florida and we had a connecting flight in Detroit...which was a really cool airport! Whenever we have connecting flights, usually we connect in Atlanta, Charlotte, or Philadelphia, so Detroit was a nice change. I tried to take pictures on my phone to show you the tunnel and water fountain that they had, but it didn't do a good job actually capturing them. So, I'll just explain them :p
There was this tunnel (really longggg) that had those moving sidewalk things on both sides. However, the part that was really cool was that the walls and the ceiling were these glass-like panels that kept changing colours. Basically, you would be standing on this moving sidewalk for 4 minutes (no joke, it was a long tunnel) and all you would see is different colours! It was AWESOME! And when you got upstairs and reached a new terminal, they had this modern water fountain that was really cool.
(Note: please bare with me for this explanation...I tried to explain it to my dad yesterday on the phone and he had no idea what I was talking about...so hopefully I do a better job now. This is why I wanted a photo hahah). Ok so about a meter off the ground was this black, circle rock (it's a big rock...about the length of approximately 3-4 cars). The top of the rock was completely flat, with about 10 holes on it. The holes were really small (about the size of a water bottle cap) and they were equally positioned on the surface. Then, water would shoot out of one hole and land on another hole on the opposite side of the rock. All of the holes were shooting water simultaneously. It was really cool cause none of the water would land on the top of the rock and overflow, but you would constantly see water keep shooting out from different holes and then just disappearing in different holes. Hahah i hope that makes sense...because it was really cool when I saw it but I feel like I don't really know how to explain it lol.
Anyways, I have to go so that I don't keep my grandma's phone line held up for toooo long! Have a great week and happy holidays :) I'll talk to you next mondayyyy!!!!
