And the rest of Saturday followed a similar pattern of decadence. After watching a whole disc of Fawlty Towers (four episodes so far - Sarah is hooked!) we set out to sample various foods at the Taste of Bloomington - a sectioned-off part of the town with all the local food places holding stalls with samples of all their food. The food was good, though a little on the expensive side. Two slices of pizza, for example, cost about the same as having a large (whole) pizza delivered. Sarah's mate Art and I were considering for a few moments actually ringing up and ordering a pizza to the front entrance and eating it by the pizza stalls.
Yesterday was Fathers Day in America, so we drove to Sarah's parents place for the afternoon. Its about three hours away, and across the border in another time zone. They have a lovely back verandah, but sitting out on it for a few hours did result in everyone getting a little sunburnt. This is a novelty, sunburn in June. At least it wasnt too harsh (they have a full sized ozone layer here). I had already met Sarah's parents - they came to Canberra last October - and I finally met her sister for the first time. She works for Kraft, and sent us some of those little single serve packs of Vegemite last week.
Some more photos are up, from the drive through cornfields and around the place.
