Tiff pretty much covered the Dom tour, thank goodness. I still don't have my states and capitals down. 16 names, half of them compound names, and the capitals, and the rivers and history. I'm good with the history. The rivers I've pretty much got down. The lil political boundaries are getting me.
Oh, and I didn't climb to the very tip top (only another 20-30 feet from the scaffolding) because it involved a large, open air spiral staircase. I tried to get halfway up it and got dizzy beyond belief. I like solid ground. The scaffolding was pretty impressive, too. It's a little walkway that they love taking pictures of here. It's on quite a few of their promos. I don't have time to find you a link, though, because I'm still cramming, and I've gotta get breakfast.
Stammtisch (evening gathering) was nice, we met all the KIIS people. It turns out that Elena's the only one from MSU. There's 2 from Western KY and the rest are from UK. We didn't really get to talk much because there was a soccer game blaring in the whole place, and because there's about 20 people between the two groups. But I imagine we'll see them again.
That's pretty much the evening. Tiff covered the day pretty well, I guess. That's all the notes I have on it.
