... loss of life. <br><br>The park has a great visitors center, where we started the day with a 30 minute movie on the basics of the civil war and how significant the Gettysburg battle was. They then escorted us to the cyclorama......which we said "what is this all about"?? It was sooooo cool. It was a 377 foot painting that showed a 360 degree view of the battle.

We were back in the hotel by 10:30.<br><br><br>* * *<br><br>We called Andrew today, asking if it's possible to go back to YFC with Maj later in the month. He shuffled some schedules, pulled some strings, and we're not only getting our wish granted, we're also switching entire tours! We are trading touring schedules with ...

We organized the van a little bit, read, talked... it was chill :)<br><br>That night, we decided to go watch a movie. So we drove to the next town over and watched The Invention of Lying.
