Finally .The best day of the trip so far .Today was only filled with laughter.
Our laughter began with our waffle filled breakfast which turned into a long walk where I got to ride my bike!!!Unfortunately a guy raced up behind me, scared me,and I flipped myself right off my bike...but I did it with a smile on my face and only a few cuts and bruises left over.When I happily limped back to my parents we all shared a huge laugh and made every single bird in a near by tree, fly away.
Than at lunch we went to an amazing deli called the mermaid deli where I had an amazing pork sandwich .And, we also found an old juke box which had some of the greatest musicians such as..Elvis,the Staple Singers,Queen,Bob marley,and of course..Lady gaga.
After lunch we went to a museum.Now normally I get bored thinking about museums..but this museum was different,and changed my perspective about aaaalllll museums...and that is all becuase of one mane artifact...the giant glass lens of a lighthouse.
It was created by Augustine Fresnel..I know,not exactly a beautiful name..but definitely a beautiful creation.
Augustine Fresnel was a French physicist.He invented the "Fresnel Lens"in 1882.Unlike other light house lenses (which lost up to 97 percent of there flames light)The fresnel lens only lost 17 percent and could be seen 20 miles away.
When we came back,my dad and I played a game of teatherball where I gloriously.... failed..
p.s.the answer to yesterdays question is....the Columbian river
p.p.s my name is spelled L-i-l-y..not L-i-l-l-y ..although it says that on the front of my blog....also ..although it says posted by Cork... its actually posted by me Lily..Cork does not matter...he just pays the bills:)
