Saturday was a lazy day to start off with, we all over slept, including Elena who was supposed to be driving in a Motorcross event a fair way away. She went off to work while Brie, Stacey and I went to The Grease Trucks. Situated next to the late night bus stop on Rutgers' campus they feed students with all manner of unhealthy but great tasting food stuffs. The truck we stopped was pretty bold about what was in the burgers. I had a Chicken Fat Cat, and one of the other two ordered a Fat Beach.

   Stacey and I went to hang out at Menlo Mall for a while. The have an Apple Store there so I spent a while checking out the latest gadgets and feeling very broke. We made tracks to Mike's house in the woods where he was waiting with two ATVs. We'd missed sunset but going through the woods and across little fields (video 2.7mb) in the dark was much more fun than having the luxury of daylight. During dinner with those two we talked about The Appalachian Trail which he is doing this summer and I have another 6 years available to make my before I'm 30 promise. I'm looking forward to hearing his account of the trail and what sort of things he finds essential. Some of us spent the evening at North Star again before coming home and looking through old college photos with Elena. It was kinda strange, but familiar, to see the group of people I met at the Stocking-The-Bar party (starring my temporary flatmates of course) and watch them get older. They have their group of close university friends as I do mine, and it made me just a little homesick.

My easter Basket

   Seeing as I'd spent two days with Stacey I chose Brie's parents home for Easter Sunday lunch. It really was manic with the number of people there. She'd obviously called ahead because the Easter basket that the bunny left for me was full of Mike and Ikes which I love ;-)

   Colin kindly volunteered to drive me to the airport early in the morning. Of course there was no traffic at 1am so it wasn't long before I had to say goodbye to them all. Thank you so much for letting me stay, it really has been a highlight of my trip and I hope to host any one of you at my place, when I get one.
