Midwest Trip: Day 2

Pics are up of day two of my Midwest adventure: Midwest Trip: Day 2



It was one of those nights where you just fall asleep and the next thing you know its 11am. Man, sleep is sooo good.

Scott/Jess took me to Culver's, which I've been told is Wisconsin's version of In-n-Out. I had my first taste of Fried Cheese Curds. They're pretty good! They taste like fried mozzerella sticks. And, I have to admit, the beef did taste pretty fresh.

Scott let me borrow his car (1992 Ford Expedition - aka "the beast") to drive into Milwaukee. I had an awesome time walking around the city down toward the lake front. It was beautiful, people were flying kites and sail boats very passing by the shore. On the way, I stopped by the Milwaukee Art Museum to check out its sailboat like architecture - beautiful. On the way back a bunch of people were gathering downtown to demonstrate against the Burmese govt. and rally for international attention. Then I took a walk down the River Walk by the Milwaukee river and grabbed some tea to finish off my downtown tour.

Tonight, I joined Scott/Jess for their wedding rehearsal dinner at a Hibachi place here in suburban Milwaukee. Ofcourse, for desert we picked up some frozen custard from Oscar's. We're now back at home and just enjoying some Wii and the thunderstorm that is passing through the country. It was awesome, I haven't heard that kind of thunder since Thailand.

The wedding is tomorrow but I hope I can pick up some Milwaukee brautwurst before I have to leave for Chicago.
