Hot Dogs and Hangovers

No, I am not hungover, but a good amount of people in Alfred are.

Yesterday was Alfred's 39th Annual Hot Dog Day Festival. Art vendors, a parade, live music, greasy food, mud volleyball, and fifty cent hot dogs. It was a great sunny with perfect temperature day. Sarah and I avoided the drama of the college drinking parties (which occur everywhere) and enjoyed the festivities and art on sale on main street.






We enjoyed the sun and when we didn't want to spend money and more food we returned to my apartment for shrimp and started the initial planning of our road trip!

We have decided not to go to California, but are still going as far as Arizona. We will be stopping at many places along the way, and hope to spend some more time visiting family along our route. I am trying to figure out the best way to post information about our trip plans, and will definitely be keeping up a blog as we travel across the US! Look for updates soon, here and/or on Facebook.


Edit: Somebody made this on campus. Terrible song, but appropriate.

For the World

"Owego Elementary School students recently spent a day participating in many activities dealing with keeping our earth healthy. Since I work at the school, I was fortunate enough to capture their day." I think it's amazing what Gio can do with a camera and some editing software, so I would like to share this with the rest of you.
