Wow...after a long trip, we're in Rochester. We first went to California where the 60 degree weather made it cold enough for my parka..yeah, I know. Visiting Dave's parents is always hilarious and we spent an awesome week recovering from jet lag via episodes of 24. Yes! Now we're in cold (for real) Rochester. Our apartment is great..little 2 story and fully loaded, most importantly with a real kitchen. I'm in heaven. We're having some friends over tonight and I can't wait to catch up with everyone.

So we don't have a car here, which could be awful but the winter has been mild so there's not that much snow anywhere...weird. Today, we found the bus schedule and it's free with student ID and I was all impressed that we were figuring transportation on Day 1! Well, we go to the stop, and wait and wait and no bus. Lame. So we walked. I think it's about a mile to schoo,l which was pretty painful with the wind today. I think the high was 21. Not cool. But we got there. Met with old teachers, friends, the music library and most importantly crab meat rangoons from the dim sum restaurant by school. They were even better than what I remember..YUM! An even cooler part about the restaurant was that our waitress was from Laos..hello!
