We have been greeted every morning by two people sitting at a table in the lobby. Their table is packed with information books about the St. Paul area, maps, freebies, and best of all a very thick book of retailers and restaurants who participate in a discount card program. The discount card is included in the booklet. No charge. And if we have any questions about ANYTHING, they answer them. They are here every day, just for the Arizona delegates who are here. I can only assume that there are similar tables at other hotels.
It turns out, they are directors of the St. Paul Visitor's and Convention Bureau. They have made it their priority to be here every day to assist the visitors and make sure they have access to the many stores and shops around here. They have put a tremendous amount of effort into making sure we're taken care of, and I certainly appreciate it. Would the Lake Havasu CVB do that much for a convention?
The MSNBC stage is out our door, and we've watched the protesters carry their banners and signs around, trying hard to be seen by the cameras. So I finally turned on the t.v., and sure enough I was seeing the protesters out the window and on the t.v. at the same time. Pretty funny!!
Buster traveled in time and met Abe Lincoln. Haa haa...actually Abe was our keynote speaker at our morning session and afterward he stuck around for photos.
In his speech, he alluded to something he'd said during his "abbreviated second term as President of the United States," and I couldn't help but think how weird that was, for a dead person to be referring to their death.
We will be heading out again shortly, Buster is on the speaker phone having a Supervisors meeting and once that is over we'll get to eat.
GO VOTE!!!
Yay, Dana!!!!
