north america → united states of america → minnesota → dakota county → eagan city
overnight at kuya roy’s place last friday after work. tons of food of course, courtesy of tita maricel. they’ve been extremely generous to our group, providing weekend foods and feeding us to our heart’s content! there were some drinks, booze, but i didn’t take much. i guess i had just 4 rounds of tequila and some beer. most of them had about 11 shots or so, drunk, noisy, and throwing up! several of us went home at around 2am, but since we won’t fit all in the car, and it’s late, we decided to stay overnight. the remaining boys were wildly singing karaoke to tunes they won’t be singing along when in normal state!
the next day, we went home first to have quick shower and pack up for picnic. although eagan city is just 15 miles southeast from the twin cities, it took us some time reaching the place as we had several wrong turns. eventually reaching the picnic ground, we unpacked and set the table under the shades of trees, and then it was a long table of delicious authentic filipino foods! dinuguan (very good!), palabok, monggo, tons of steamed rice, lechon manok, caldereta, etc…complete with chocolate cupcakes, cassava cakes, wide choices of drinks!, and watermelon. a few meters down the picnic area is a swimming facility, cascade bay. entrance is $9. there were so many people in the pool that it’s hard to swim around. summer here is a lot shorter than winter so many have been taking advantage while the sun out and weather is sweltering…but still, this is fresh compared to philippine summer.
after going back and forth to the picnic ground and pool (food is not allowed in cascade bay), i found myself both tired and stomach full! at about 7pm, we decided to go back.
we were actually using a colleague’s caliber (dodge), and i had a chance to test drive it. a really nice car, but i’m still used to operating a manual car. it has a gps, and it’s my first time to see how it operates! really cool and it gives precise directions.
