To Tree or Not To Tree…that is the question.

Day 4. I forgot to put down one of the coolest parts of what happened yesterday. For those of us who are TN-ites, you will be familiar with a guy named Louis who won a brand new BMW last March. Well he was at our meeting last night, and after the meeting, he let Lyndsey drive it. We went for a good long ride. It was VERY cool.
Today’s adventure didn’t really have any of the cuisine capers that we have experienced thus far. Waking up with a hankering for real breakfast food, we sought throughout the entire village of Visalia for a good breakfast nook. We found it at a place called Country Waffles. The food was pretty decent; however, they struggled with the concept of Over Medium eggs.
After breakfast we took a drive up the canyon to go to Sequoia National Park. However, at the door of the gateway to some of the largest trees in the world, we were told that with the construction going on, it would take several hours to see anything worthwhile. So we decided not to tree. We headed back into town and went to the movie “The Departed”.
I am in agreement with my brother-in-law that this is a great movie, but the original was better. For those who may be unaware of obscure Japanese movies, “The Departed” is actually a remake of a Japanese film. The story lines are very similar with only a few small changes. If ever you have the chance to watch the original, by all means, do it.
Our meeting tonight was excellent. The group of IPCs we are working with here in Visalia had a fire in their eyes that I have not seen in a very long time. I am excited to see what happens here in this the middle of nowhere.
