Backtracking. The week in Star Prairie has blurred, and will remain blurry since no notes were taken. Let’s recap some of the key events.<\/p>\n
Picked up, generously, from Madison after a generous lift there was given.<\/p>\n
A good mexican meal with a “large beer”.<\/p>\n
A swim in a lake, of which much will be made.<\/p>\n
Power-boating on a different lake, at what felt like higher speeds.<\/p>\n
Visiting a foal less than a week old.<\/p>\n
A walk in Interstate Park.<\/p>\n
A trip to the Mall of America, a large place. There’s a whole theme park (Snoopy Camp) in the middle. And a wedding chapel.<\/p>\n
Hanging out with my new step-siblings. For the sake of anonymity, I’ll call them Brae and Shady. Much fun with Super Smash Bros Melee and Frisbee French Cricket. Meeting the extended family and friends.<\/p>\n
Mowing a huge lawn with a ride-on mower.<\/p>\n
The “Get The Foreigners Drunk” party, though thankfully no surfacing of “that” drinking game. Drunken hill-rolling, though. Tacos too. Much local beer, margaritas.<\/p>\n
A first drive in the USA, on the wrong side.<\/p>\n
Hanging out with my father for the last time in a while.<\/p>\n
Getting to know his new wife, the friendly stepmother.<\/p>\n
Homemade curry with homemade naan bread.<\/p>\n
A mosquito-infested walk at Saratoga Springs.<\/p>\n
Peace and quiet; it’s a small place.<\/p>\n
Heat burning down from the blue, blue skies.<\/p>\n
Now, we’re off to Yosemite and many other national parks; we may be unable to blog or call for a little while. Advanced apologies, and have a nice day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
