This is the last day of mine and Jack's "mini-vacation" up here in Paradise. We are leaving early tomorrow morning. I have school Monday evening and then all day Tuesday.
The highlight of our day yesterday was a trip to Eckerton for dinner at the Bear Butt Inn. Jack and I both got hamburgers. Jack got american cheese and bacon on hers while I got all crazy and got american and pepper cheese,bacon, and ham on mine. Their hamburgers are the best.
I have been reading a book up here that my Grandmother bought for me called "The Encyclopedia Of Music". This is the most fascinating book I have read in a long time. It basically begins with sections on each of the orchestral instruments (strings, woodwinds, brass, ect.). Then it has sections on individual composition styles throughout the centuries such as the Medieval, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic era's. The third part of the book has individual biographies of over 100 of the most famous classical composers.
Jack and I have gotten some pretty cool shortwave stations in up here. We started off our day today listening to China Radio International. We were not fortunate enough to receive any more free Chinese language lessons. Yesterday we also listened to Radio Austria International, Radio Sweden, Radio Taiwan, Radio Habana Cuba, and KBS World Radio which is broadcast out of South Korea. I wanted to hear Radio Cairo Egypt but the reception was too poor.
Jack's Uncle Dennis and Aunt Barb are up here as well so we are going to go over to their house a little later to visit. We are going to the Yukon Inn for dinner tonight. Good Times.
