Belated News on our 4th of July Festivites

Yes, I do realize that this post is over a month too late, but I'm writing it so when I look back on our year here I'll be able to remember a few things. We had all sorts of plans of things we would, could, should do to celebrate America's Independence, but then things got a bit hectic. So instead of having a bbq and making apple pies we actually made lasagna and packed for field school all day. However, we did redeem ourselves a bit that evening and went to dinner with Linds and Adriann at the Gourmet Garage in Montecasino.

None of us had been to the monstrosity commonly called Montecasino, but we figured it was worth checking it out for what a local magazine claimed to been a "spectacular burger experience" with infinite burger choices. What the magazine described and what we found were two different things, but the food and company were good. The real treat of the evening wasn't the Gourmet Garage itself but the store we found while looking for the restaurant. Montecasino is quite large and we headed the wrong direction at first which was actually quite fortunate because we stumbled upon a store full of America memorabilia. We can't remember the name of the store, but it was full of all sorts of truly American goods. They had everything for Shasta soda to western boots and apparel. It truly was a sight to behold.
