Sunday was our big sightseeing day. First we went to see Mount Rushmore. It was cool to see it in real life, now that I have seen it on pictures so many times.

Then we went to see Crazy Horse. It's a big sculpture of the Indian man named Crazy Horse riding on his horse. Or that is what it is eventually going to be... Right now, only the indians face and arm is made, and to us it doesn't seem like there have been any progress for many years. It was honestly a little disappointing...

Then we drove to Jewel Cave it is a huge underground cave that is more than ??km long. It was really cool to be down there and there was a lot of beautiful and cool crystals and rocks.

After that we wanted to go souvenir shopping in the small towns but that was basically impossible because everything was closed for the season. But it was actually nice to be there "out of season" because there was very few tourists at most of the attractions so we didn't have to fight to get a picture as I imagine it can be in the summer. We almost had it all to ourselves but we also had to suffer the freezing temperatures.
