fun with vermont and tequila

how's that for a subject line?

today started out pretty laid back... marianne had a paper due at 10 this morning, which she didn't finish til 7... this means she slept til noon and i got some putzing around time... after we were both up we went to vermont (literally 1 mile down the road) to visit some touristy towns that are apparently really popular in the fall... they were cute... quechee and woodstock vermont... got some touristy vermont things (syrup, maple butter spread, etc.), a rhombus puzzle, and some chai flavored mints (VerMints to be specific)... all quality... in quechee we ate at a cute deli then went to a craft house/store where they make simon pearce glass... you could actually watch them blow the glass in the furnace by hand and stuff... very cool... we drove across the state border (VT/NH) a few times so i could get some quality pictures of the state border signs and then came back to NH... after dinner w/ one of marianne's friend's, we went to ben and jerrys and then to movie night at their CCC (campus crusade for christ) staff worker's house... fun times and fun people... after that, marianne and i planned on crashing, but her boyfriend rudel (who i also know from budapest) called to tell her they had 3 people for pong at one of the frats he was at and needed a 4th... so we were over there for like an hour plus some... they made me margaritas to play with instead, which was quality... unfortunately margarita mix margaritas aren't quite as quality as the scratch ones scott makes, but they did ok... me and jeff, a canadian guy who explained as we went (dartmouth people play different... with ping pong paddles and stuff instead of standard beirut), actually beat marianne and rudel once the 4th person that had been playing previously left... mostly due to jeff, but it was fun.

yay for quality time in VT/NH... it's been a good day. now, for sleep.
