As is the tradition with VS, our Unit Administrator, Immanuel Sila arrived for his annual visit this past Thursday evening to spend the weekend with us and check out unit life and our placements here in St. Louis. Friday, Immanuel toured around the city visiting our various placements, meeting our co-workers, and learning St. Louis history with his handy dandy tour guide Chris (our VS support committee chair). Of course as is also tradition we were taken out to eat at a restaurant of our choosing. The lucky winner was Fitz's, a unique restaurant located in a trendy area called the Delmar Loop, where they make their own soda, which of course we also indulged in. Saturday morning was started non-VS style with an early morning excursion to the Laumier Sculpture Park and tour of surrounding areas following by a nice lunch.

The highlight and lowlight of the weekend was definitely a Trivia Night with friends from church. Trivia Nights are popular events here in St. Louis where there are teams that answer together 10 rounds of 10 questions each, pertaining to various topics of pop culture, geography, history, songs, etc. Typically Trivia Nights are not ALL night events but this one seemed to be an exception to the rule. We had fun answering questions together but as the night wore on, the interruptions, stallings and broken sound system seemed to turn a fun Trivia Night into a Trivia Nightmare. We came away though with quite a killing of prizes including a super nasty smelling rose body kit, and a used smoke smelling deck of cards. I say we were winners!!!!
