| Driving through South Dakota didn't qualify as fun. To make the most out of the day, we decided to stop at the "Beautiful Rushmore Cave". Beautiful? Debatable... We took a tour with a funny guide, but it still didn't worth the entrance fee. But Mount Rushmore Memorial was a completely different story, which can be best told by pictures. We walked on the "presidential" trail and saw the four presidents from different angles. At dusk they put up a show and finally lit up the sculpture. This was Lida's favorite part of the entire road trip. When we got to the hotel (quite late) it was closed (!?!) and, for about 15 minutes (until somebody finally answered the bell) we thought that we would have to sleep in the car. |
