We left Ann Arbor Monday morning packed into one mini-van with 7 people and all our luggage and donations. Very quickly, we became very "close" to one another. We drove through Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and then finally stopped in Rochester, MN for the night. Driving from Wisconsin to Minnesota over the Mississippi River, we saw beautiful scenery!! Gorgeous! In Rochester, MN, our group member, Abby, found out from a friend about a Mexican restaurant that was supposedly good and cheap. To our pleasant surprise, El Carambas was amazingly good and the people were very friendly--even letting us use their sombreros for pictures!!
The next morning, we started our journey with a stop at the coffee store, which we found out was only drive-through. However, the cashier let us get out of our car and order our drinks. It was a funny site! Then, we set off to South Dakota. While in South Dakota and in a larger city, we decided to buy groceries because their are no large grocery stores in Eagle Butte. After purchasing groceries for 7 people for almost 2 weeks, we had to cram all the groceries into the car, which was already packed--on TOP of US!! It was one of the most packed cars that I have ever seen!! (pictures will follow :)) People in the way back, who could not move, got good at jumping over seats to get out to stretch their legs. After 4 hours of this compactness, we were excited to have arrived to Eagle Butte, SD! The long-term volunteers were very friendly and helpful. Being exhausted from the trip, all of us fell asleep quickly! We were excited for the next day! :D
