South Dakota: Sioux Falls






Did you know that there are water falls in Sioux Falls, SD?!?! I guess it should have been obvious, but it wasn't to me. The falls are in the middle of the city and are part of an urban park that includes a long bike path along the Sioux River.





While we were there, an air force jet flew over. I was pretty happy about not only captruing that with my low budget camera, but tying it in to the falls in one shot.






While we were enjoying the park, about half a dozen jets flew overhead. They're just amazing to watch. They fly so fast! As they kept coming by and interrupting the serenity of the falls, I was a little annoyed that they were interferring with my vacation. Then I started feeling a little guilty. In some countries, people don't have the security of knowing that the planes are just on practice runs or putting on an air show. I wonder how that must feel? Is it terrifying? Is it comforting? Is it too much to think about so they don't even notice and push it into the background like so many other distractions and noise that we encounter every day? I'm glad I don't really know. I'm so lucky.



After leaving the falls, we stopped at Mama Lada's Enchaladas. This restaurant serves only enchiladas for the main course. Of course they were yummy! We also go chips and salsa which was very interesting. Their salsa didn't use fresh tomatoes but tomato sauce or katsup? It also had large pieces of mushroom and olive slices giving it ia unique taste.



I liked the guacamole better.
