Since we're all stuck here for the most part, the only place to "go out" for the day is to the Chalet and to the shops. With Manny working all the time, he finally got the day off and wanted to head over to the shops to see what it was all about. So we hitched a ride there and got another one back (...eventually. Haha, that's a story for another time). I have already been to the Chalet too many times to count, but still enjoy seeing the local vendors and the fun items in their stores. We went into a really good coffee shop called the Black Bear, which I supposed is advertised even in Ohio. It was small and quaint and sold lots of pastries and interesting drinks. We also went into a variety of other stores that were owned by hippies, quilters, glass artists, and souvenir shops.

Shopping away
The shuttle has been shut down however for awhile, but opens back up today so I hope to hop on and get a ride out of here for a couple hours before work. This past week our employee/locals type bar (open to guests as well) had their grand opening. The bar is called the Chubby Salmon and sells burgers, fries, and shakes. There is the "Chubby Challenge" that the bar offers, which consists of 1 lb. of salmon in patty form on a bun with 1 lb. of toppings, which comes with 1 lb. of fries, and a milkshake. The challenge is to finish the meal within 25 minutes, and a free t-shirt will be given to the consumer. I suppose one guy, our regional chef?, tried the challenge but failed to complete it. Last night however, Manny took a shot at it and finished! He was the first to do so, and will get a free shirt, although he gets a free one anyways for being a manager. (So I'm trying to get him to give it to me instead.) He said it was alright expect the fact that the onions dominated the burger and he hates onions, and pretty much had an entire raw onion on the burger.

After that, he disappeared for awhile to walk around. I didn't see him after that!
Well, the hotel starts up again today at noon--finally! We all have been waiting to get going with work again. Stinks to have to pay to stay here and not make any money in the mean time! So bring on the hours, I'm ready.
