Pittsburgh MCG - Brian - Day 2

Once upon a time (20 hours ago) I woke up at 5:30, hoping for a glorious sunrise, but only seeing a fairly decent sunrise, but it had many photographic opportunities.  I then got breakfast, and then Jess took us to Old Faithful, where I had intended to conduct a video interview, but was turned down on both attempts.  We ate lunch, saw the geyser go off, and then we went back to the van. We drove to the Grand Prismatic, and hiked up a mountain, and when we reached our destination we saw the grand prismatic from above.  It was incredible.  Pictures were taken, friends were made, chipmunks became thieves, and sketches of the prismatic were made.  As a part of our team building exercise, we had to carry bricks in our packs, and each person had to carry it for some part of a trip.  I decided to take the bricks on the mountain’s descent.  It was easy, but my brain went into overdrive, so I often had to stop and wait for everyone else. But we made it to the car, saw bison and goats, took more pictures and got home.  We were the treated to an awesome dinner made by Trevor and Claire (MUCHAS GRACIAS).  That summarizes my day.
