I've met nearly a half-dozen people from Minnesota in the past 2 days. How odd is that? In fact, last night Brandon (from Wisconsin) and I went to watch Monday Night Football at a local bar. The Packers were playing the Vikings. Then today, among many adventures, I had the best meal ever at Hotelito La Capilla -- it was a private courtyard BBQ of local expats that I was invited to. They do it every Tuesday and Saturday. It's almost worth the flight by itself. Tonight: relaxing and getting rested for a trip to the beach.
