Back from Curling-a-go-go land
What a week.
Last week was training in Wilmington, DE. I did learn a few things. Was it worth it? I don't know.
I shopped though, looked for wedding dresses, shoes, you name it. Didn't find anything.... Friday I flew from Wilmington to DTW. Was supposed to go from DTW to Flint, but flight got cancelled. What a surprise! Honestly. 1 out of 3 trips for me has something be late, cancelled, wrong... yuck. Anyway, I did get to Flint eventually, then to Port Huron only like 3 hours late.
Then this weekend was DuPont Bonspiel. Curling weekend. Friday afternoon I met my coworker in Port Huron, then we drove to Whitby, Ontario (just past Toronto) in a surprising 3 hours. He was averaging 140 km/hr. Thats a lot.
Saturday morning, our first match was at 9:00am. We played 3 games, 6 ends each. We ended at 6pm. All the Troy people went to dinner at Outback (that's what they wanted). Turns out there was an hour an a half wait...we didn't eat until 8! OH well. I got to sit at the bar and have some cheese fries. Plus the bartender gave us some extra strawberry daquri that didn't fit in the glass. yay. It was kinda funny to see my coworkers tipsy...they were all very loud. I'm sure the whole resturant was thinking "Stupid Americans". Enh.
So today I AM SO SORE! You might not think curling is hard work, but it is. Lots harder than it looks. woke up at 7 :( but we didnt' leave until 9. got home at 2:30...because it took 45 min to get through customs. Crazy people. Then unpacked, did more shopping. Practiced a little. And here I am. Weekend gone, have to go back to the grid tomorrow.
Hopefully some pictures soon.
