Saturday night we arrived to the small town St. Charles, 1½ hours west of Chicago, after 26 hours on the road. A peaceful and quiet place in the countryside. We got our own old house in a really cozy atmosphere and when we parked the car, the neighbour sat around the fire listening to "Sweet home Alabama". We all smiled and felt good inside - this was definately different from NYC.
Sunday around 250 Danes and Americans came to a party at Mid West Ground Covers, which is a huge place started by the Dane Peter Ørum and his lovely wife Irma.
The Hot Dog Stand was rocking and so were the Hot Dog Team and I. For 3 hours I did nothing else but served hot dogs to excited people. The songs from the music album played in the background, the sun was shining and everything was just perfect for a Hot Dog Party to support children with arthritis.
Uhhh every time I looked at the line it was as big as before. I served and served and served and served and the line did not seem to moove at all. Great, I love it.
Well, monday we went to Mid West Ground Covers again to serve hot dogs and this time to the employees. It was a really nice day where I got to talk to the local people working and living in the area of St Charles. Nice people.
By the way, we got the car and that is wonderful. What we didn't know was that a lepricorn lived in the car and all it has done since we left NYC is to tease us. First the windows couldn't go up and down, then the light didn't work and when the light worked again the radio didn't work. Hmmm then we got the windows fixed and we all celebrated it by taking the windows down....and then they were stuck again. Grrrr...
On thursday we head towards Danish Immigrant Museum in Elk Horn, Iowa.
A big hello and lots of smiles from the Hot Dog Team to all of you.
