Epic road trip, Day 15

Day 15 of our road trip saw us visiting two monuments:  Crazy Horse and Mt. Rushmore.  

But first, we drove through Upton, Wyoming.  Nothing notable here except apparently if you are looking for the best place EVER, this town is really sure of itself.  

The road on the way to Crazy Horse is pretty much nonexistent in some places, and downright scary to be driving.

I'm going to be completely honest about the Crazy Horse monument:  It is underwhelming.  It is honorable that there is a family and other workers so dedicated to seeing this project through, but there's just not a lot to see in regards to the memorial.  Some day there will be though, and I look forward to visiting again.  

Next it was off to Mt. Rushmore.  We had a great visit there, and were glad to have the chance to visit such an historical landmark.  

We stopped off at Everest Cuisine in Rapid City, South Dakota that evening.  We got the authentic Indian food we had been wanting for a few days.  It was delicious!  The only thing to be careful of, fellow vegans, is getting a truly vegan meal.  The waiter understood we were vegan, and instructed the kitchen to make us vegan bread.  And then the same man brought out sauces to go with our samosas, and we thought we were in the clear.  Mr. GV asked if the green sauce was vegan and our waiter replied that well, there was just a little bit of yogurt in there.  "Just a little bit."  As if that made it OK. That is, of course, infuriating, because he clearly understood what being vegan meant and thought he would just slip it by us.   

I know, being this picky makes me sound like a cranky pants.  But when you have heard great reviews of a restaurant and are told they can accommodate you, it's so disappointing to find out the staff is trying to sneak something past you while you were trusting them.
