A Weekend Away
Last weekend I got to leave the big city and travel with the team to a small city by the sea for a weekend away. It was a nice city, even if it was about the same size as my bathroom. It was a good weekend, and not just because I got to skip class Friday.
Saturday for lunch I ate what is quite possibly the best sandwich I have ever eaten in my life. French fries, ketchup, mayonnaise, and bread. French fry sandwiches, just another reason to love this country...
That's a picture of the lobby of the hotel we stayed at. That hotel has to be the best I've ever stayed at. I've been to my fair share of holiday inns and the like, but this one went above and beyond. Every free inch of space was taken up with random artifacts and junk from all over the world. There were Terra Cotta statues from China, a full suit of medieval armor, a stuffed baboon, a big Buddha, Greek statues, a key to some rock in Mecca, Native American-looking idol things, and a full skeleton in a glass case (see the pic above). It was awesome. (I'd put more pics up buy my camera has been on the fritz recently, I'll put some up after I get some from the team).
As if that weren't enough, they had a talking parrot with a better accent than mine.
Cool stuff! I think I saw a terra cotta warrior statue in a Holiday Inn once, was it Topeka, De Moines, Tulsa....I can't remember. ;)
