Thursday, we ditched around midnight so we'd be awake in the workshops the next day. Friday, we got distracted by the aquavit (if you find yourself in a scandinavian duty-free shop and it's close to my birthday, let me recommend this brand, although any will do), but when we left around 1, the dancers were still hanging on.Saturday, well, we were leaving at 5 a.m. Sunday, so people said, oh, just stay up. They were right. The dancing went til 4:30. Ok, by the end there was more sitting on the floor propping up the walls than dancing, but there was still fiddling to dance to. Let me tell ya: that was one difficult drive to the airport. Especially since Madison seems to have some kind of rule against airport signage.

Yeah, when I was a prospective here J.Vo was driving me to the airport and we had quite the time finding it! And then after I moved here, Special.K was driving me to the airport, and along the way I asked "You do know where the airport is, right?" And she didn't, even though she'd lived here for two years. I think it has something to do with our lack of freeways - there isn't anywhere to put a sign!
You know, when you get into town we can head over to Sam's - it's a phenomenal wine and liquor warehouse store (note: *not* Sam's club). They are currently showing 5 different kinds of aquavit on their website (samswine.com).
I've never had it, what does it taste like?
Hey, and whaddya know, one of those is even Norwegian! So, aquavit tastes like, um, carroway. Ok, it's an acquired taste. But a taste that I took the opportunity to acquire when I lived in Norway.
mmm Aquavit.
I am fairly certain some of the difficulty in getting to the airport had to do with the fact that all of our energy was being used to stay awake and therefore could not be used to oh, say, navigate or drive. Still, rocking good job getting us there on time.
