First week in America

So the first week in America is over.
Thanks to Herb and Chris Schultz we had a great time in Chicagoland. We were staying at their house for the first 3 nights and got an opportunity not only to enjoy River cruise and downtown Chicago but just had a great stay and a great company.
At the beginning we were not sure what to do in South Bend. Thanks to Martha, who organized the conference, we got all sorts of information about everything.
We took Chris Rowley to the zoo, where albino crock and lions were observed by everyone.
Then we took Robyn, Ross Moores wife to the Amish community. We had a great time, took a ride on the buddy and chat with a local Amish grandpa, dinnered at the 100% Amish restaurant and learned that Denmark is a part of Sweden with Amsterdam as a capital city.
There is a Chocolate factory here as well, which we got to visit as well. Kids ate so much chocolate that at the end they refused to eat that brown stuff.
Today we took a tour around the Notre Dame campus, where Martha was our tour guide.
Overall conference went very well. Everything was very well organized and most of the talks were quite interesting.
And of course, David did perform yesterday at the banquet on his violin. And he did super good!
