Spring Break

So, I’m back for spring break and I should update my blog to let you
know how it went. It was a good spring break. I went Ohio to visit
Ceri. I’m glad I bought my ticket back in January because I am super
poor now. Actually, I was poor then as well but now my credit card is
maxed out making it difficult for me to buy anything.

(Sorry about the spaceing. I can't figure it out)

Here are a bunch of photos I took with some captions.



After my finals on the 16th, my professor gave me a ride to the
train station in San Bernardino. I was worried about missing my flight
because I had to get all the way to LAX and I don't trust interstates
in LA at all. People drive like their suicidal here. Everyone complains
about the traffic and now believes it's their fault. I am convinced
that trains and subways are the only way to get to the airport. For
$6.50 I took the 1 o'clock MetroLink train from San Bernardino to
downtown LA. This took about 1.5 hours. Then I took the subway from
downtown to the airport. My metrolink ticket worked for the subways so
I didn't have to pay anything more. Trains are so efficient I don't
know why I was worried about making my flight. Then I took the free
shuttle to the terminal I needed and made it all the way from San Berdo
to the airport in about 2.5 hours.








Ceri, picked me up in Detroit around
12:30am on the 17th and we finally made it back to her apartment around
2 in the morning.









































The spotted one and the striped one are brown
eggs, cage free vegetarian.







These are some of Ceri's friends in Bowling
Green, Matt and Michelle. They wanted to paint eggs for Easter so we
brought over some brown eggs. I think they turned out pretty well.











Oops! They didn't all make it to the end of
the night.




























I made sure to bring my climbing shoes with
me and we went to Ceri's climbing wall twice while I was there. She was
really excited to show me all the routes she does and wore me out
getting me to climb one after the other.

(This is Ceri's collage)



I was impressed by how well Ceri was climbing, unfortunately
she needs to work on her falling.


She fell from the over hang onto the edge of the crash pad.





Look at how happy she looks with her twisted
ankle.



Her bruises make a smiley face, too.

Spring Break (St Olaf, IA & Minneapolis, MN)

On the 25th we started towards North Dakota for Amy Tanner's (formerly
known as Amy Barber) wedding. We stopped in St Olaf, IA to see my Gramma and
Granddaddy Hoover.











Here is the cabin where they live. There was an eagle sitting above their creek when we left on
Saturday morning.


We also spent a couple hours in Minneapolis on Saturday afternoon. We met
up with some friends and went to some art museums. The Walker was
closed for expansion so we went to the Weisman (a Frank Gehry
building) and to the Minneapolis
Institute of Art.
After the museums we went to a Tibetan/Nepali
restaurant called Everest on Grand. It's on Grand St in St. Paul. They have tasty yak dumplings. The
yak are free range and grass fed of course.







Another cool place in Minneapolis is Bob's
Java Hut. It is a biker coffee shop. The whole front of the store opens
to the outside and motorcycles are often parked out front. It also has
free wireless internet.






We drove around for awhile because I couldn't
remember where it was. So I took a picture.

Spring Break (Amy's wedding)

Amy's wedding was really nice.


It made me cry a little.












Daniel and Scott make me feel really short,



so I have to stand next to Ceri more often.




On the way back we got to eat
breakfast with my dad at the casino in Bettendorf.






And now I'm back in Loma Linda. My
apartment is down there somewhere to the left of the hospital.
