My cool Columbus guy.

No, I didn't fall in study-abroad-love with an Ohian (?) this month. That is just a lyric from the best localized version of Lady Gaga's You and I that I have heard yet. I'm 100% serious when I say they replaced all the "Nebraska"s with "Columbus." I don't know who let that happen, but I either want to hug them or punch them. Radio is weird.

Other (O)hi(o)ghlights......

I WENT TO THE HOOVER DAM!!!

Ok, well, I mean, I went to a Hoover Dam. Is it just me, or is it physically impossible to stay on the highway once you've seen a huge sign that says "Hoover Dam"? My thought process was something along the lines of.... "OH MAN! WHAT? I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO SEE THE - wait..... isn't that..... aren't I in Ohio? That can't be right..... oh well... it's on the way....."

This attraction shared a parking lot with a Championship Disc Golf Course. Double win!

While my parking success has certainly been better than last week's (still stumped as to why a school would absolutely refuse to let me park on the basis that I am a student. SERIOUSLY, I STILL PROMISE I'M NOT A STUDENT) I am ready to get out of the giant cornfield that is Ohio. There is a certain charm to the feeling of being completely lost in the middle of nowhere and at the mercy of a possibly malicious GPS, and then suddenly ending up in the middle of a small liberal arts college. BUT, I mean, corn gets old at some point.

And don't even ask me about that Whole Foods I navigated to, only to find out it was a Baby Whole Foods with no hot bar and not much of anything else either. BOO.

Also, I feel like I need to be honest about something. Everyone thinks I'm traveling for work, but the truth is I'm really just bouncing around the country finding ice cream factories. Today, the home of Velvet, also known as Utica, OH, also known as the Ice Cream Capital of Ohio! wow.
