A Day in Epcot

Three days in Disney and today we’re going to Epcot.  This morning we woke up, devoured our breakfast, and drove off in our golf cart to the Disney bus station.  It took 15 min. for a bus to come.  While we were on the bus we wondered what today had in store for us.

When we arrived at Epcot the first country we saw was Mexico and  an Aztec pyramid, when we went inside we saw a woman weaving a blanket.  This blanket was as colorful as a rainbow, with a softness and pattern of the  sky when it rained an hour before.

Next we went to a Irish stone building which was the start of the the Ireland section.  In the building was a viking ship brought from the bottom of the ocean.  The structure was all that remained of this proud ship.  It was 15 ft. tall , 7ft. wide and 25 ft. long.  When we left the building there was a viking ship that went up and down.

In Germany we ate lunch an all you can eat buffet with strudels, cakes, pies, cookies, pastries, hash fries, Frau hian sausages, Frau steaks,  and Eww… red cabbage.  The strudels were my favorite, the apple strudel … it just melted in my mouth every ounce of syrup was savory.  The crust was warm, crunchy, and perfectly cooked and the apples were soft and had the perfect amount of sugar.  Right then I thought of the phrase,    Anywhere you go you can have fun.

My Great Uncle

I had a great uncle,
who loved me,
a year before he died I found out,

The time I saw him we joked,
and talked,
then I left,
a week later I got a package,
of fishing lures,

a year later he died,
later we went fishing,
I lost a memory of him,
in the gulf,
in a bay,

two days later I replaced that memory with his,
shining trumpet,
and when I think of the trumpet,
I think of him,
I cry,
