We are now in Ohio on a two day stop. I must say that this place will always stay in my memory. Our intentions for a late night dinner turned into wandering search through the streets in the cold, freezing wind for anything that was open.
The i-phone results were unacceptable so we simply decided to walk until we found something. It was a chilling night so we were all planning on this trip being as brief as possible. Upon arriving at a local bar with glances from everyone in it, we questioned the woman behind the bar about any place within walking distance to find food. Sadly, our only choice was to walk to a Circle K three blocks away.
We arrived at the store with another new discovery, not only was this our only choice, but also this particular late night establishment did not except customers on the inside. Apparently the place had been robbed so many times that they had to replace the front windows, the cashier's counter, and then lock all the doors after a certain hour. So basically what you need to do is go up to the window and order. Of course you have to guess at what choices you have and watch the guy go back and forth with different options. All of background info was told to us by a woman who was patiently waiting her turn. She also told us that there was another employee who worked late nights and was incredibly slow. There would be a long line of impatient people yelling for her to hurry up. While we were waiting for the not as slow guy, some dude quietly appeared from around the corner without much warning looking a little sketchy, thankfully we were done and quickly left.
You can probably guess that Circle K was a bust. Luckily for Patrick, his preferences were not as particular so he brought frozen pizza and beer. But our hopes were not completely destroyed, Michael with his i-phone was once again in search of another option. Pizza delivery. And after many attempts there was success. We actually had a pizza and cheesy bread delivered to our sleeper bus. I was so over filled with joy that I ended up only having one slice of pizza and three pieces of cheesy bread. Yummy...

Sandusky Ohio, huh? Kyle talks about that place. Apparently there's some sort of amusement park, where he and his friends used to go when he was a kid.
Sorry it's always so hard for you to track down your dinner. Maybe they should issue you rifles so you can hunt wild animals -- or in your case, plants. Oh,um, sorry, I guess that was kind of offensive... really, though, they should make sure you have a reasonable way of getting food at each location.
The bunks remind me of a clown I once knew, who'd been on tour with Ringling. He said that their rooms on the circus train were the size of three coffins stacked on top of each other. He had a goldfish in an aquarium; on Sunday night he would drain most of the water out of its tank so it wouldn't slosh on him when the train started to move in the middle of the night.
