September 7, 2009 | From atop a towerThe windows weren't very clean. There was quite a nice view from the tower, even though the surrounding mountains are dry, brown, and generally tree-less. I didn't spend much time in the tower, but I'm glad that I got a chance to go up. This pretty much summarizes my sentiment towards being on a ride - as in, oh hey, I like the view from the top. The rides were fun, too, I guess. There was one pretty interesting one that had music and fire and mist and loops and turning seats. Considering students pay $26, it was worthwhile. But then, the drinks are overpriced even more so than movie theater drinks. And there's parking. And there's locker-renting. Driving takes a while. I'm exhausted.
Wow, yeah. I guess, the thing I liked about Skanzen was that anytime I was tired of all the zoo, I could retreat to a forest on the edge, sit on a bench, and forget that the park is really a muzeum.
