seeing as i haven't blogged in a while, i figure it's time for an update. last weekend we went to muir woods to see the redwood trees. they were HUGE. well, tall. some of them were pretty darn thick, too. some of them were hollowed out and you could stand inside the trunk. they used to have a drive-through tree, but supposedly that fell over or something. there's only a handful of drive-through trees left. the sucky part was that it was raining the entire time we were there, including the part where we went on a 6-mile hike and got soaked. but it was still fun :)

this weekend we saw V for Vendetta and went spelunking. V was pretty good - I didn't think it was quite up to the level of the matrix, but it was good nonetheless. spelunking was even better. there was a 165-foot rappel down into a massive cavern, followed by a guided adventure crawl through the caves. the crawl featured some cool formations with colorful names such as "the meat grinder", "the pancake squeeze", and "the 40-foot chimney". they were pretty much what they sound like, and we went through them all. since we had 10 people, the tour (which was supposed to take 3 hours) ended up taking us 5 hours. lots of fun :)
