john williams rocks hard

last night, mv and i watched "jurassic park" randomly on tv, and coincidentally, we went to some of the places where it was shot today. we did our helicopter tour this morning, which was amazing, so i tried my best to stay awake during it, despite the 5:30 wakeup time and my tendency to fall asleep in moving vehicles. so i was yawning a lot, but the beauty of it all wasn't lost on me. here are some photos...


my parents, before takeoff


miles, our pilot


giant clouds of steam, where hot lava flows into the ocean


can't you just hear the dinosaurs?


the keyhole, with its "necklace" of waterfalls


it was awesome, and we definitely wouldn't have seen those kinds of places if it were left up to us to get there.
