spring break [second]

point one one: cheese. so in wisconsin we saw a lot of cheese. it seemed appropriate. and stereotypical/touristy of us. but appropriate.

we went to a little chapel on the base and there was a woman who played the keyboard who wore a brown hat. that's the only thing i can say about her because all we could see from behind the keyboard and the music was her hat. when the chaplain asked for praises, the woman with the brown hat would poke her hand out from behind the piano and ask questions. it's possible she HAD no head, but was only an entity connected to a hat and an arm.

we experienced a true wisconsin accent from our waitress after church and it was amaaazing. we had to wait to order because she had managed to cut her hand and needed a band aid. she was quite the character, but i had waffles so what could be better.

as we were walking to the mississippi river (our first visit), a pay phone close by rang and ii, naturally, ran to answer it. i politely answered and informed the woman on the other line that, no- dooby was NOT there. *the video at the bottom of the page includes this little episode :)*

as we were walking parallel to the river, i saw an orange carnation sitting in the snow like it was supposed to be there. i "picked" it only to discover it was sitting in a little plastic flower bottle and had just been planted there for kicks. it became my new friend. ... not in a creepy way.

we got a tour of Captain Chaplain Johnson's office and watched the US vs. Canada for the gold. it was a win/win for Redwings fans since we had connections on both sides. Redwings aside, it was an exciting game... until the end.

PS- in sparta we saw a lot of symbols of a man on a high riding bicycle and had a long discussion about whether it was a bike or a trike. it was the former.

iMovie is being a hamburger, so I had to upload the 3 videos separately. Sorry!
