Beki send more informative and fun filled postcards from across the USA, many thanks! Beki M writes: Hello from South Dakota! Seeing Mt Rushmore was so neat. I didn't realize it was basically the creation of an artist trying to do something cool and long lasting and really had nothing to do with the government. At the bottom of the mountain you can see rocks that were dynamited out! - Beki

The postcard facts read: Shrine of Democracy - Four great presidential faces, carved from solid granite in South Dakota's Black Hills , serve as an inspirational reminder of  the ideals of democracy, and a testament to human imagination and perseverance - as personified by sculptor Gutzon Borglum.

I really hope I can go back one day and spend a lot more time there. - Beki
