My Nebraskan and North Dakotan Adventure

I arrived in Nebraska really early in the morning Monday to visit Courtney (Dan's wife) and Dan (SP07). The first few days we just hung out discovering how poor my skills are at Guitar Hero and trying to convince their cat to like me (it didn't work). Tuesday night we headed to the older part of the city which had lots of like knick-knack places and candy stores and lots of art gallerys which was lots of fun. Wednesday we headed to Omaha Zoo which was so much fun. We all sorts of animals- giraffes, gorillas, bears all that sort of things. It was lots of fun. Especially seeing all the Australian animals that were there. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner which serves waaaaay too much food. On Thursday Courtney and I went out with one of her friends for lunch and then we hung out and went shopping.

Early Friday morning I headed to North Dakota to visit Jess Meier (SP09). Thankfully I managed to make a extremely short connection (ie running between buses) meaning I got into Bismarck 12 hours before schedule. Saturday lots of Jess's friends came over and we hung out and her mum made an amazing breakfast. On Sunday we went to Jess's church and then Jess drove me out to beautiful Medora. We hung out there with one of the guys who was on summer project in Medora and played mini golf and bought saltwater taffy. On Monday we hung out and did errands before I had to get on the bus to go to Minnesota. I am currently in Minneapolis but more on that next time.
