After a busy day visiting a 50s diner, an 1880 town, antique shopping (got a great nifty household item!) and seeing Al's Oasis, we arrived in Sioux Falls. Camping for one night, but certainly trying to spend our time wisely. We set up camp, Stef made beans and franks (for the Franks), ordered in some firewood and set out upon the town! We had our sights set on a laser light show at the Falls Park. We got there an hour early, plenty of time to enjoy the falls in daylight, layered ourselves with bug spray and sat in the grass. After twenty minutes, the lights dimmed and music played, which included La Boheme. Then the show began! Excitement filled the air (all fifty of us sitting there).. The announcer came on to state some parking laws and welcome us to the show. By us, we mean US, "Sarah and Stefanie who travelled all the way here from NY."
The show consisted of cartoonish depictions on a wall of the history of Sioux Falls. It is very true what they say, "you get what you paid for." The show was free.
Now we are back at camp trying to keep our campfire lit. Sarah is not going to continue this blog as she needs to take the lighter fluid away from Stefanie.

Do I have this right: the light show begins with "no parking in the 'no parking' zones and welcome Stef and Sarah from the Beg City" and this is followed by Donald Duck swimming in the Falls to Puccini ??? Welcome to the America of Prop 8, and Sarah Palin. How were the franks and beans and did Stef succeed in keeping the fire going on damp wood and enough ligjter fluid? What's next?

It did start that way. "No parking in fire zones, your car will be towed while you are watching thw show, go move them now if you'd like to, and a special welcome to Sarah and Stefanie who have joined us tonight all the way from New York." That's what we get for signing in on guest books!
There were no ducks, for shame, but the falls were pretty with different lights shined on them. The side of a building was used as a screen for the "light show." Occasionaly, Jay our host would stand on a rock and speak about what we had just heard or are about to hear.
The only thing we got out of the light show were mosquito bites - about 20 each. How fun!
The franks and beans were good, tasted much like franks and beans. We suppose that's a good thing. The fire, on the opther hand, revolted against us. We couldn't keep it going while we wanted to roast marshmallows but once we were done, that sucker wanted to stay lit. Bastard.
Now we are off to cheeseland after visiting the Jolly Green Giant!

After Chicago you head for Cleveand? Is Columbus far out of your way? I do have a first cousin there. Let me know. In Chicago go see the Institute of Art which houses the famous and beautiful Serat painting. Also, the Natural History has the oldest fossil "Sally".
