Topic: Greetings from the US
Yo, this is Crovax (duh)
As you might have noticed if you are overly active on Faldon (not a healthy thing I might add) I have not been on too much lately. As you might also have noticed if you saw me on or read my site, it was because for the past 5-6 days I have been on vacation to the US.
I just figured Id have a post to tell everyone Im still alive and about the stuff that I saw or w/e.
Firstly, I try to update resets daily, with my faldon folder on my mp3 player's HD to access Faldon on any comp (yay). I didnt always manage, but usually I updated once every 2 days so far. So keep buying from me ;-)
Now my vacation thus far:
I first flew to Jersey, where I met up with some of my family and stayed over at my uncle's place who has likme a $1 mill house, with a pool and everything. Since it was so insanely hot in Jersey over the weekend I spent a lot of time in that pool, heh. Great stuff.
Yesterday I flew to Niagara Falls, had a look on the US side, did all the standard things such as watch from the platform, the cave of the winds where you can touch a fall and took a trip on the maid of the mist. (Got pretty wet, especiallly in the cave of the winds on the hurricane deck)
Then I went to the Canadian side and had a look there too, saw the huge power plant (since they funnel like 50% of the water away from the falls to generate power), saw the origins of the falls (kinda) (where it started eating away at rock llayers after the tectonic plate-thingies shifted creating the great lakes and stuff) and went BEHIND the horseshoe falls (Canadian part of Niagara Falls) and went on their big tower to see the falls illumminated by lights at night. The view is better on the Canadian side, and they have developed the area surrounding it a lot better/more. It looks more natural on the US side though.
Today I have arrived in New Orleans and Im in the hotel now, havent done too muvh here yet, but Ill tell ya if I do anything interesting later.
c'yall later guys!
PS. Sry for typos, Im not used to the cramped keyboards on laptops.
PPS. Here's a picture: http://www.phys.uu.nl/~0473162/DSC00414.JPG
THose are the American Falls, the Canadian horsheshoe falls are actually much bigger and like 90% of the water goes over them rather than this one, but its harder to get a clear pic of it, due to the huge spray that is in front of it, so figured id post this one. My sis (Freyalise/Liin Sivi for those who might remember her, actually liked these falls better too)
Bye y'all[/url]
