Reflections of My Travel

We had a very big sales meeting on Friday in Peoria, so we got there wednesday night in order to have time to rest and prepare on Thursday.

We spent about two hours trying to find a room to stay in for two weeks. Nobody bothered to tell us that there was some big eight day basketball tournament going on in town and that all the hotels were booked up. We finally found a decent room with a microwave and refridgerator. Which is good because we were able to go to Walmart and stock up on fruit and yogurt and cereal for dinners every night. I just wish there had been a gym at the hotel since I am badly in need of getting back into a solid exercise routine. Although the first week, while I was working from the hotel room, I did work out the best I could in the room everyday. Our customers here are really great. I started going into the office Friday and all the second week and they took us to a new and interesting place to eat lunch every day and they also drove us around Ft. Wayne’s neighborhoods telling us the history of the town. It was so nice and hospitable. Over the weekend, we were told that we needed to visit the Embassy Theatre. Wow! I must say that I was rather impressed by this place. The movie was interesting. Northern Redneck flick, Red Greens Duct Tape Forever. (Well technically, it’s a Canadian thing, so it’s probably southern for Canada). It was… interesting… we went to see the theatre. We also went to one of the nice parks for a picnic, kite-flying, and bunny-watching. I must say, Ft. Wayne is a very nice town.

When we left Union City on Friday, we intended to go all the way to Fort Wayne, but by the time we got to Terre Haute, we were exhausted so we found a room and got some rest.
