End of Tourist Season
Wow, my whirlwind tour is all finished now. In Madison, we packed more activity into two days than I thought possible. We hit our favorite restaurants in town, hiked on dangerous-looking rocks, ran around in a laser-tag game, and visited with people that I haven't seen in quite a while. I also shoulder-rolled down a hill on campus a few times. (My maximum number of rolls in Aikido practice is 4 before I run out of mat space. On these trips, I did 10 before I ran out of hill.)
My trips were very different from each other. Madison was jam-packed with activities to fill each day, and St. Louis was more about getting together as we could and enjoying activities around us. (Although, I did NOT dress up in tights, as certain people seem to suggest!) I'm happy I got to be part of both of those trips. I'm also happy I don't have ANOTHER trip to go on right now!
