my trip to La Crosse and the Twin Cities

27 July, 2006 12:56

I spent a week in La Crosse, and a couple days in the Twin Cities for my cousin's wedding. The bus ride down to La Crosse was rather peaceful, mainly because I drifted in and out of day dreams. When I arrived, Jim was waiting at the bus station to pick me up. Pompeo (sorry for all the spelling mistakes) was also there for the head back to their house.

The first couple days I did not do much. I had an enjoyable time the first day tasting some wine and doing a little chit chat.

Jim, myself, and Pompao went for a hike at Hixon Forest. It is a beautiful series of hiking trails with connection to the many bluffs on that side of La Crosse. We found ourselves next to the weather station facing La Crosse. I managed to get a cheesy shot of the city, and a rather nice shot of Jim and his Grandson shooting the sling shot.

Friday we went out for fish. I have always loved fish, whether raw (sushi) or broiled. Jim and I got pretty shit faced, and he felt it through out the night. I am still a young guy and can handle the injection of pure poison. Granted, he kept up like a kid at heart.

Saturday morning we headed up to the cities for the wedding. We arrived about 15 minutes late, which wasn't such a bad thing. I have to admit though, it was one of the most liberal catholic marriages I have experienced. The ceremony was beautiful and with that I wish Nicky and Brad the best.

At the reception, I had Walleye and steak. I wasn't very hungry and was a little embarrassed for not clearing my plate, since the food was indeed incredible.

Of course there was free beer, and I immediately took advantage of the amenities. A majority of my family arrived the night before and I could tell they were tired and not interested so much in making a scene. In any case, it was a good time. I did get a strange feeling from my family however. My cousins hardly talked to me, and only two uncles really gave a shit if I was there or not. Although I do not have a lot of interaction with them, the feeling was a bummer.

I ended up staying in my own room. I made a pot of coffee and watched some TV. I also took a few minutes to explore, what looked like, some sort of DSL device.

We headed back to La Crosse, and I took the well needed time to nap, rest, and get my marbles straight.

On Tuesday, I managed to get a hold of Dane and Nick and we headed down to what used to be WC's.

The next day I headed home, pretty exhausted from the night before. All in all, it was a good visit.
