Last post about the trip?

 
One last post about the trip, why not?

First, I am so grateful. A million things could've gone wrong but nothing major did. (In fact, really...nothing went wrong-wrong. We hit some curveballs like not finding the bus terminal or the second canvassing turf being bad, but we adjusted where needed). I don't love doing a long car-trip solo but the 3 hour drive back to Chicago went fine. And as I mentioned in my previous posts, there is so much to be thankful for. Including getting to go home a day early!

Ann asked me what my favorite meals were on the trip. So let's do 2 lists.

Favorite meals on the trip:

1. Pizza at Just Veggiez
2. Stir fry at Sunny's Asian. It really hit the spot
3. Stir fry at the Nepalese restaurant Himal Chuli, bonus points for that tea they served

(Weird sidenote. I haven't eaten at Subway in years and years, but when it was time to leave the Dells, I wanted something filling and fast, and Subway was there. They didn't have a vegan patty, so my sandwich was bread, mustard, onions, tomato, lettuce, pickles, and jalapenos....and weirdly I kinda loved it?? Enough so that I made myself a version at home the next day, though I added avocado)

Top 3 favorite parts of the trip:

1. A great day of canvassing
2. The arboretum
3. Take Flight

And if I can have 3 more favorites...

1. The water park at Chula Vista
2. Veggie Fest
3. And obv just hanging out with Doris, though it was hard to say goodbye to her on Day 3


Also the cat was super-affectionate when I returned, and she slept on top of me
