I forgot to take a lot of photos this week, so it will be a short one this week. On Tuesday, I went to Slick City, which is a place full of dry indoor water slides. If that doesn't make sense, you will understand when you see the photos. But first, a stop at Absolute Studios, my host dad's marketing business. They had a really cool studio with an awesome recording room for voiceovers.

At Slick City, they had 2 slides that launch you up into the air, which were really fun but a little scary doing them for the first time because of the vertical drop.

Skipping straight to Thursday, we went to Chilli's, which is a chain restaurant, but don't let that fool you; the food was still amazing. Almost too amazing. I had 6 huge mozzarella sticks and a slice of cheesecake. That was clearly too much because I soon felt sick, and let's just say the cheesecake ended up on the ground in the parking lot 😂. I also went to a friend's house, and they had a bearded dragon there, which was really cool to see.

Friday was a boys' night as the girls headed up to the lake house early. So we went to Suite Shots for some dinner and golf. There were 3 floors of driving ranges with ball tracking, so you can see how far your shots go. My longest drive was 160 yards (146meters), which I was pretty happy with. The driving ranges also had heaters, so you can go year-round, which is definitely needed here.

On Saturday, we went up to the lake house, about an hour and a half drive from Fargo, similar to going from Wellington to Himatangi Beach. It was a nice house with a great view of the lake. As soon as I got there, I jumped straight into the water, and everyone looked at me like I was crazy because they all thought it was freezing cold. I just told them they should try swimming in NZ, as this is nothing compared to at home. After a quick swim and a kayak, it was time to go to Zorbaz for dinner, which was a nice mexican/pizza place right off the lake.

And then finally on Sunday, we cleaned up the house and got it ready for an Airbnb guest who was staying there after us and headed back home for the night. Sorry for the lack of photos and stuff to write about this week; I have been really enjoying hanging out with my new friends and completely forgot that I was meant to be taking photos 😅. I will try to remember for this week.
Nice work keeping up with your weekly blog
ReplyDeleteAnother fun week in Fargo
And yes more photos please x
That's pretty good mate... you are obviously having loads of fun... no mention of school I notice! Spare a thought for your mates back home who are sitting NCEA exams right now! That golf place looks good... will have to go there in December...!
ReplyDeleteHi Jed. Well, it looks like you have taken to Fargo like a duck to the proverbial water! Really good to see what you have been up to, and it looks like you have been discovering something new on an almost daily basis. Some people find ‘new’ to be a bit challenging, no matter what time of their life they do it, so well done for embracing ‘all things USA’. It looks like your temperatures are going to be dropping quite rapidly soon, so guess you should avoid swimming in the lakes as your new friends suggested 😊Wish I’d had the opportunity to experience something like you have right now, as my school adventures were usually only a bus ride away! Keep enjoying your time, the new experiences and all the new friendships you are making, Steph and I will be watching you…
ReplyDeleteWow Jed, all these different experiences and the food is a whole nother matter!! Living your blogs xx
