Howdy Ho! Neo is back from the great depths of her natural habitat!
So I hope everyone had a nice 4th! and 5th! and days before that! Lol, I should say, I hope everyone had a great Independence Day Holiday! (whether you did not get a chance to gain any independence those days, it's still worth hoping for you did XD).
As for me, I went and stayed over at Pittsburgh, PA, over the weekend with my brother and 2 of his friends who are about to get married next year. We left on Friday and came back yesterday, and boy, I had loads of fun...even though we kinda got lost on the way to um...some natural park...and *cough cough* ended up in West Virginia instead
Yes, that was surprising! Yet satisfying.
Well let's see, on Friday after reaching Pitts, we mainly explored downtown. Ate at a Thai restaurant (Salmon rice was excellent!) and got chocolate truffles and Swedish fish from a chocolate shop YUM! At night, we went to the Nakama Sushi restaurant, and mann, I only ate sushi once in my life before (which was bleh) but the ones I had here was EXCELLENT!
I ordered some Hawaiian Maki Rolls or something, but it was great! With a side helping of seaweed salad
The next day on the 4th, we had all these plans to go places, but since most of the attractions were closed due to "said holiday", we tried to go explore a natural park. Hike and stuff ('cause I love hiking! and the weather was excellent). Sadly, amongst all those winding roads through the mountains and forest, we got confused and hopelessly lost, and guess where we ended up? Right...West Virginia. HAHA!
But we stopped at several places to take pictures of nature itself. Streams, flowers, dead snakes...I mean...flowers. And OH! In this one hiking trail we were fortunate to encounter, a deer just zoomed past in front of our car! It was creepy in sense 'cause my brother, being the speedy driver that he is, was going really fast through the bumpy path towards the parking site for the park, and his friend did say, "Be cautious, you don't want to crash into some wild animal" and soon enough, ZOOM!
Hehe, creepy, but awesome! And back to West Virginia, we just spent some time in a desolate old town eating lunch at Pizza Hut XD Finally, going back to Pitts, we went up to Mount Washington (which is like a landing where you can look over the city and the 3 rivers that meet) and watched the fireworks! All 12 shows around the vast landscape too! IT WAS GREAT!!
And dinner for that night, which was like at 12:30 am when only the drunks and the tipsy ppl were out, was at the luxurious CHEESECAKE FACTORY! Salmon and rice again with a side helping of chocolate coffee cheesecake (mmmmmm cheeesseeecakeeeeee)
So overall, that vaca was great! My brother's friends were really nice, and their photography skills are excellent (I'm persuading them to join DA to show off their stuff XD). Plus, they had a pet bunny named Poopoo, and she liked me alot
Okay, well that's all the fiasco for now. This week's going to be hectic 'cause I'm leaving for India next week on the 13th! HARRRHARRRHARRRR. And my college orientation is this week too (overnight stay and all
) Sooo, I might just be able to post one more pic before I leave. But that's a big MAYBE. If not, I'll come back on Aug 14th and do more. Plus, I've got to study for my permit's test (sigh....) and get set for HARRY POTTER HBP!!! WOOOO CANT WAITTTT!!!
AND OH OH!!!!!! MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF THE DAY!!! MY BIRTHDAY IS ON JULY 12TH!!! Too bad I can't have a party this year 'cause I'm leaving the next day. Perhaps when I get back...perhaps. I told my brother to get me a camera, 'cause darn it, I really need one! And I'm supposed to go to one more grad party on the 11th....sighhh, my friends just never let me go
WELL ANYWAYS,ANYONE WHO WANTS TO WISH ME A HAPPY BDAY CAN DO SO NOW!!! Turning 18 baby!
K, farewell...and good day!
