Back from my weekend dip
Posted by: Liz | From: August 25, 2003
Back from my weekend dip into Pennsylvania. There is much to relay, but I am not sure I have the energy for retelling at this moment. The four of us traveled via rental car, and due to a last minute money panic, had to do so without insurance (yikes!). Lucky us, nothing happened, so it turned out to work like a $60 discount for us. We stayed a pretty nice hotel in the town of State College. They actually named the city “State College,” yes. It was small and college towny: lots of grill-themed restaurants, music/clothing/crafty stores. There was the wedding, which had much potluck and organically grown flowers, and sobriety, and dense, homemade wedding cake. Mostly it was outside and a bluegrass band played. Everyone was relaxed and happy and the bride didn’t have makeup on and was kind and embracing of everything. It was a notch below the kind of wedding I’d want for myself, but the personal nature of everything was very touching. I’ll take a wedding like that over an overdone floofy affair with banquet tables any day.We made our way to Krista’s parents’ house in Indiana and that was also nice. We hot tubbed it and were fed amazing quantities of food.
Mostly, this trip makes me hungry for quiet porches and cool air.
Oh my goodness, I am so sleepy. It is one of those days where you feel like you are watching the words come out of your own mouth, interested in exactly what thoughts they are going to express. I’m moving underwater. I must stop writing for now. I’ll be back when there is more caffeine or something in my system and I can make coherent thoughts again.
