Day 3 : Indianapolis

We woke up today fairly early and enjoyed a tasty breakfast made by Lindsay. We hung out at our hosts apartment for a bit and got situated then made way for the White River State Park.

On the way to the park we were almost run over by a rogue fire truck. We pretty much timed it just right to be exactly where the truck suddenly turned it's siren on and pulled out of the department.
We eventually arrived at the park, $4 parking, nice. Along with the first Tuesday of the month being the "special discount day" for every facility in the state park. We decided to check the Indiana State Museum first. As far as museums go, this one is worth checking out. The place starts off by showing you that rocks are crazy. They can grow insane crystal formations inside of them, which most people already know, but the way they displayed it was...... nuts.


There were plenty of other interesting exhibits at the museum as well. Directly below are a couple of pictures.


After the museum we watched an IMAX film of the Grand Canyon in 3D. I'm not really sure how to explain how freakin amazing that was. If you haven't seen an IMAX in 3D, do it today. Do it within an hour after reading this. Just in case all of the IMAX 3D theaters implode on themselves before you get to see it. Seriously... I'm not even going to go into detail, just go. Let's just say I was IN the Grand Canyon. IN a raft with people IN the Colorado River rapids.

After the ridiculous film, we checked out the zoo. I took mostly videos at the zoo so there aren't really any interesting pictures. Unless you don't remember what a lion looks like or something. Below is a memory referesher if that applies to you.

The zoo had plenty more to see, including three Rhinos fighting each other, running amok around their "zoo territory".

There was a tropical plant exhibit right next to the zoo that we checked out as well. It was about 90 degrees in that place. The air was pretty damn humid, pretty damn fresh. Wasn't so bad. Here is a picture of the lush vegetation.

And so after that, we went to CVS for some supplies and headed to The Egyptian after eating plenty of granola bars. We arranged a couch surf stay while there and are now staying at Schafe's house. A student in Indiana that lives with several other roommates. Next stop, St. Louis.

Here are a few extra pictures for your entertainment.




And then of course, Dan thinks this one is awesome. "Best picture probably ever taken."
