Cresent City, CA to Eureka, CA
Today was such a blast! We were able to get up early in the morning and head to Eureka, CA. Once there we saw the venue and to surprise, our name was on the marquee. We all felt famous. Once there we were able to split up into groups and explore the city for a good couple of hours. I know all the dancers had so much fun exploring the historic and downtown Eureka. The architecture and history of the town were fascinating.
After exploring Eureka we were fed a wonderful dinner at the stake center. Thank you to all those who prepared it! It was a wonderful meal.
Shortly following dinner we performed our show at the beautiful venue and then departed to our hone-stays for the night.
Stories and Experiences:

Eureka!!! We got to go be normal and walk around freely! OH it was so splendid to have a bit of a break from the cramped bus and go stretch our legs by splitting up and going touring wherever we wanted to. Weather in Eureka is pretty moderate you don’t see the sun shine a lot. It wasn’t cold and it wasn’t hot which was so nice. My group consisted of Elsha, Jude, Rachel, Megan, myself, and our protector and priesthood holder Daniel . He kept us safe from all harm. We had a blast walking around taking pictures with huge cool murals exploring a cool little bagel and antique shop. The venue we preformed in was incredible!!! A lot of us felt like we were in Phantom of the Opera. We felt fancy because they had tv’s in the dressing rooms so we could watch the show while we were down there. The show went really well! After it was over this lady came with her arms wide open and just gave me this huge hug and said, “You’re my favorite!” Ha ha ha!! I gave her a hug and said she was my favorite we then just went on for a few minutes like we were just old friends. I had never met her before! It was so much fun!
Elsha Guthrie:
Eureeeeka, California….except California isn’t supposed to be cold right?? I guess I was misled. We walked along the pier and we came upon this cute little shop that had salt water taffy and sweaters (to shield us from the cold mind you) and our front there was one of those creepy fortune teller machines with the weird man in a turban who rubs his hand over the crystal ball. So having plenty of time to waste we all start taking pictures with the Fortune Telling Man. This lasted for about 10 or 15 minutes until it was finally my turn for the picture. I pretended to be kissing him through the glass and as while I was posing this intense and thickly accented voice starts yelling, “WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!” I was so scared that I just stood there with my lips all puckered up while the man in the glass encouraged my to get my fortune told…which I did. See if I ever lean in for a kiss again on this trip!
