Shawano

Yesterday after we had breakfast with George's parent and his sister, Pam that just fly to surprised George's mom from Florida.  

George and I went to Shawano. It is George's home town. He was raised there when he was 5 months to 13 years old. It took about 2 hours to drive up there. We stayed at Four Season Resort. We visited George's big sister, Diann. She lives here. After that we went to eat dinner at The Studio. It's similar to Rupp's. George had prim rib again. I had pasta. It was too big. I couldn't finish it. 

Last night was also Prom night for most of the schools. We saw some students couple dress up in the restaurant. 

We went to casino after dinner. I lose money again but I got free soda hahaha. 

People smoke in the casino and it smell so bad. We spent an hour in there and we went to Bowling lane to play pool. We went back to the hotel at 11 pm.

(Sturgeon Park, where Sturgeon fishs lay eggs.) 

Today we woke up at 8 am. We had breakfast and went to see Diann before we left to Shawano lake where George's old house is. George showed me his area and we ate lunch opposite to his house.

(This is half of $6 meal)

There's sunday special menu. It's 4 pieces of chicken and mash potato, corn and bread. We ordered one dish and share. The cook put it in 2 plate for us. 2 pieces of chicken each plate and she gave extra mash potato, corn, bread. She also gave us 2 cups of soup. The meal costs only 6$. She is so nice and I love her mash potato. 

This house was George's house that he would sells fishing stuff, drink and snack for tourists. It isn't change but the area around the house change a little bit. George is sad that some of his play area becomes road and house.

On the way we drove back home, George stopped at the art place he came

When he was young. There's a play at that time so we decided to watch it. It was 2 hours show. A lot of old people love it. They laughed so laud. I think it's funny too but I didn't laugh that laud. 

We passed Green bay so we stopped to get yogurt at Smart Cow. Before we're home, We stopped at Asia market in Manitowoc. We saw Durian! We bought it for 13$ We wanted to show it to George's family. 

I spent all of my evening energy to break it down to pieces. I bleed myself. 

It's so hard to open because the shop freeze it. 

I let George's mom and sister try. Nobody likes it. George's dad didn't even want to try because of the smell.

George's sister, Pam said it smells like onion. Hahaha

I guess I have to eat the whole Durian. It tastes good. 

I thought it'd not as good as durian in Thailand but I was wrong. 

I afraid George's parent will smell it when I eat it. I have to be careful. I'd run to the basement to eat it and come back. I throw away the seed outside the house. We shouldn't buy this durian. 

I mean I didn't really want to eat it and it costs me a lot of work.
