I thought I would upload a few of my favorite photos from the last two tours. I call this post the Three P's (and yes, I know that this is technically an incorrect use of an apostrophe. Call it, "folksy.")
The first P stands for Pretzels. I love soft pretzels and in Amherst, MA I had the biggest soft pretzel ever. It was covered with melted, smoked cheddar cheese and served with spicy mustard. Mmmm.
The second P stands for Puppets (technically marionettes) . We stopped at a truck stop in Illinois that has this glass case full of dancing marionettes. The restaurant at the truck stop had amazing baked goods, including french pastries. I'm sure most truck drivers appreciate an eclair, Napoleon and a quick puppet show before hitting the road for another 15 hour shift. . .
The last but not least P stands for People. We've spent the last couple of days in Cedar Falls, IA. It's a cute, little river town that is also home to the University of Northern Iowa. The folks here have been very hospitable and we've had some great restaurant experiences. While in charming downtown Cedar Falls I happened upon a travel agency that bears my last name! I've never met anybody outside of my family with the last name, "Humble" so I was pretty excited!
We head home tomorrow to put together our collaboration with the James Sewell Ballet. Peace!

Another interesting fact: I grew up in Illinois and my dad is a truck driver. Many times on the road for family vacations or what-not, we would stop at this very truck stop to eat. My dad would let us put a quarter in the machine to make the marionettes dance and sing. Ah, memories. When we drove up to the place I had this weird feeling that it was the same one I remembered. And it was. Gotta love the "R Place" Truck Stop in Morris, IL!!!!
