Today we took a short drive up a Mountain to downtown Asheville, NC. We meet a group of friends from our Classical Conversations. Mr Potter the geologists showed us all the types of rocks and minerals, and explained where they come from and how they are made. We enjoyed seeing rocks worth thousands of dollars and some worth pennies. They where able to go in a cave and see what it looks and sounds like when you blow up a mine. Learned about weather and how the earth rotating effects the weather. Also wher able to see some of the great volcanos, and see where the "Ring of Fire" Volcanos are. Arianna along with her brother and several of her friends even broadcasted the weather, and we had snow, clouds, sun Low pressure and high pressure, stong winds and a hurricane all today in South Carolina!!
It was a lot of fun to learn and explore more about Gods creation and how his art work is beyond our imagination. Tim and the childern even craked a Geo stone from a Volcano in Mexico to find smokey quartz inside, it was beautiful.
Then a fun lunch at Fuddruckers with all of friends. And we drove back down the Mountain with three sleeping babies.
What an adventure for today! Until next time.
