Week 2 summary update

Week 2: Will only post significant events

Monday- Late evening, we went for a walk and got lost in the neighborhood. It was fun. We made our way back safely, we probably walked for 2 miles. [update: it was more like 4 miles!]

Tuesday- We went to lunch in the afternoon and ran into the pastor from the church we visited the previous Sunday. He invited us to sit and have lunch with him. We had very good conversation, I really liked the pastor.

Wednesday- Shane and I went into Roanoke, again. We found a store that was very similar to Trader Joe's. It was yuppie heaven. It was a combination of Trader Joe's, Wild Oats, and Pavilion's. Super expensive, but very enjoyable to shop around in. Very nice classical music, wicker and wooden wall coverings, produce baskets, fresh bread, flowers, and meats sections. Wine and spirits section. Amazing displays. Ahhhh... beautiful place. Too expensive, though!

Thursday- We hit the mall! Shane got a new cell phone and phone number. (If you want his new # send him an Email.) We also went shopping for a dining table. (A whole week and a half later and it still has not arrived.) We've been using a card table, a stool, and a crate! The joy!

Friday- We went to Steppin' Out! The annual summer festival here in Blacksburg. It was fun. Live music, arts and crafts, local merchants and restaurants had booths. There were also booths for different organizations and the farmers market...

Saturday- We went to the Annual Peach Festival in Roanoke. Yum! We had peach cobbler! Afterwards we went shopping and bought Shane a very cool desk and shelves, for his home office.

Week 3- Stay tuned...
