Canoes & Coal Mines!






today was our 4th day at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. we had to get up at 7:15 to go to breakfast. we stayed at the breakfast cafe for about an hour then we went to the Southside to go canoeing along the Monongahela River. we got lessons on safety and rescue. then we got to go out on the water with a partner of our choice. we rowed upriver for about an hour then we went back downriver back to where we started. Megan, the leader, went to get pizza for us to eat and we all played 7 up and 4 corners. when we were all done eating, we went down to Tarentum to the tour-ed coal mine. we went down under the ground and we saw all of the coal and machines they use. it was very cold down there but it was neat. when we came out, we got little bags of coal to keep and then we went to the museum/gift shop and got free pop. we, then, had a discussion about the different sources of energy and which we think would work the best. we went to Walmart up at the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills Mall. then we ate at Eat N' Park again but this was the one at the Galleria, too. that was all we did today. :)
