Day 8 - Hurricane

Well after being completely re-energized from from our lazy day on Sunday we all woke up casually and made some breakfast.

I have been trying to eat non-stop because my overall goal of this trip in terms of my body is to become more in shape and gain more muscle mass. Having this goal in the long distance, I have that much more motivation to work out and up my caloric intake. We did another workout DVD again this afternoon. So this essentially means that I already look and feel like a body builder (I may be exaggerating on the "looks like" part, but I sure as hell feel accomplished).

After the workout we went to Kim's restaurant that she works at for a late lunch before the game. The restaurant was gorgeous and the food was just as amazing. Since Kim worked there she snagged us a 50% off deal, so we got great food at a steal of a price. Our service

was really great as well. And it was in this location that we heard our first authentic Southern "y'all". I'm tryi

ng to listen very carefully to the different dialect down here. I want to come home with the ability to talk like any person from all over the country.

The Boston accent is pretty easy, I think. A

ll you really need to do is mention a hypothetical buddy from Southy and drop one too many F-bombs in an aggressive manner while wiping out the letter "r" from the english alphabet.

We stuffed our faces at Kim's restaurant because we knew it was acting like a late lunch/early dinner meal. This is all because we were going to the Carolina Hurricanes game. This is the local NHL team and our friend Kim was able to get tickets last minute for a fraction of the cost. It felt very strange entering another arena besides TDBank. My eyes were so unadjusted to the change that all I could see was red spots. Well, maybe that's because the Hurricanes' colors are red and black. We had wicked good seats (as you can tell from the pictures I took with my phone). That night the Hurricanes were playing the Winnipeg Jets. We, as in the temporary team

I was acting a part of, won 2-1. It was a great game and we had a ton of fun.

Tomorrow we are off to Wilmington, NC! Y'all take care now, ya hear!
