Day Seven - exploring Stephenville

So I had today off for the first day since in Texas :) I slept till 1pm, showered, then went off for an exploration of the town. I was also hoping to find a place in town with cell service, but instead found out through the lovely Walmart cell phone experts that tmobile towers went down a month ago and they dont plan on repairing them so ... Im shit out of luck. I can still text from my phone, just not talk. I broke down and bought a pay as you go phone for only $10 and then $2 each day I use it.. So i am only turning it on to talk to people on Saturdays&sundays so please only try and call then! My new number is 254-434-7976. Also my new address (which Im sharing with one of the hall directors) is :
Miranda Belcher
T-2043
Stephenville TX 76402
Attn: Faith Stiffler

Here is random stuff I saw on my adventure:


This is a two sided truck I saw on my walk to Starbucks today..It was parked in the middle of a random parking lot, not near any store named Footgear, so people must drive it right?!?! I really want to see someone drive it, but didn't feel like waiting around all day.



This is a big monster Truck I saw on the way back from Starbucks. I think it is used to advertise the Autoparts store.. There were a couple kids climbing on it so I dont think anyone actually owns it or drives it anywhere... But that would be way cooler if they did drive it to work everyday..

This is the entrance to the Stephenville Cemetery


Here is a picture of the Stephenville cemetery. I know this picture doesn't really capture how enormous the cemetery is, but let me tell you it is HUGE. Especially considering we are in a small town. And it can't be that old because the whole reason we cant walk on the grass here is because the school founder is buried somewhere on campus and no one knows where so they avoid the potential of stepping on his grave by avoiding grass... therefore I might die while here since apparently an disproportionate amount of people are buried here.. CREEPY!
