10 Questions

Friday July 21, 2006: Day 6 ~ Rapid City, SD to Rochester, MN

Today was just a traveling day. We started off with the best free continental breakfast @ the HoJo we stayed at in Rapid City. They had cereal dispensers and a timed waffle maker just like in the dorms! Yummy!

We had a 9 hour drive ahead of us so again we had to keep ourselves amused. So, we watched some Sex and the City and we decided to answer the questions that James Lipton of Inside the Actors Studio always asks his guests @ the end of their interview. I later found out that these 10 questions originally came from a French series, "Bouillon de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot. Here they are:

Here is what the drive looked like:

While driving, Larnie has to keep herself amused in order to stay awake on the long stretches of hwy because I have a tendency to fall asleep early in the morning. SO, here she is singing along to one of her songs on her acoustic playlist & strumming away on her air guitar. You're supposed to keep 2 hands on the wheel @ at all times Larnie!

During our trip we ate @ this roadside stop twice: once leaving SLC and once during this leg. We coudn't get enough of Perkins (like CoCos but w/ much better food) & their good old homestyle food.

We kept on seeing pictures of their oreo cookie pie on the table so we couldn't help ourselves and decided to split one. The waitress brought each of us a slice and Larnie and I both looked @ each other because we thought we ordered only 1, but the waitress was so nice that she split up the 1 slice onto 2 plates! I love great service in restaurants!mmmm yummy!
