DisneyWorld trip--Day 6--Epcot

Once Jeremy got back and showered, which was about the same time in which we'd gotten up, showered, dressed, and so forth, we headed out for fun and character sightings at Epcot:



We looooove "The Seas" pavilion with a "Finding Nemo" ride, aquarium, and "Turle Talk" with Crush:
We caught a ride inside the Mexico pyramid and on our way out picked up this year's stamp activity, "Duffy the Disney Bear (where you go around to all the different countries and get a stamp):

We had lunch at Akerhaus, where we all met several of the princesses.  This is also where McKenna's fever seemed the worst, so she looks pretty miserable...




Sometime in the past few years, Disney has built the Eiffel Tower in the France pavilion.  From all the way across the water, we were able to focus in on the tower, but only got Madison's silhouette:
 Here we are waiting for Jasmine and Aladdin, and then getting their autograph:



In the France pavilion, with a little bit of the Eiffel Tower showing up in the background.  You all remember how much and for how long Madison has been obsessed with France, Paris, poodle, the Eiffel Tower, and anything else "French", right?
We did something that we've always wanted to do:  eat inside the pyramid in Mexico.  You MUST have reservations to be able to obtain a table.  And, we figured out why.  The food is really, really, really good.  Since returning from his mission, Jeremy has long stopped looking for a good Mole (pronounced with an "a" sound at the end) dish.  This one was as authentic as he remembered.  We took a picture of the back wall, because it looked like a painting, but every now and then the lights behind the painting would create a volcanic eruption with lava flowing out and down.  The volcano is Mount Popocatepetl.  The pyramid to the left of the volcano resembles the Pyramid of the Sun, which is also the largest Pyramid on the American continent.  Jeremy has climbed the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon and Mount Popocatepetl (while it was inactive, though it's been active for the past 15).
