I started the day not intending to do very much other than veg out. I woke up to feed from the continental breakfast before starting a load of laundry that was in pretty desperate need of washing. Once this was done, I decided to take my maps and laptop with me into the main part of town to camp out somewhere and get some "work" done.
After about a mile walk into the main part of town, I struck up a conversation with someone wearing a Timbers jersey, the soccer team in my hometown of Portland. During the conversation his friend Sam walked by and invited me to come watch the Bears-Packers game just across the street. Sam was a Bear's fan, but I got to enjoy the Packers rout with his friend Craig.
After the game we went to Sam's apartment above some downtown businesses where we shot some pool. They claimed it was the coolest apartment in Valpo and, although I hadn't seen any others, I believed it. The spear that killed the world record largest hog via spear was one of the many decorations on the walls. I went to dinner at the Figure Eight Brewpub where Sam worked.
I extended the already eventful day by taking a walking tour through the beautiful campus of the university in town. I arrived back to the motel just after sunset and fell asleep to rest up for the resuming of the run tomorrow.
