The Last (Beef) Supper



Carl, Joe and Kirsten shared a last taste of Minnesota this evening, with a wonderful steak at Mancini's in St. Paul. Our friend, John Mancini, presented Carl with a going-away cake, spumoni ice cream, and a new Mancini's cap to remember the night.

Earlier in the day, Carl said good bye to Grandpa and Grandma Rabbe and Liz in Trimont. We stopped for a brief minute at Station #1 to say good bye to Phroggy. Then it was on to Manicini's for the last taste of Minnesota beef for five weeks.

The three elder Rabbes (J, K & C) toasted "Buen Viage y Buen Provecho" ("Good Travel and Good Eating"). It's early to bed tonight so we can be at the MSP airport by 6 am tomorrow. Carl takes an 8 am flight to Miami, then transfers to another flight to Lima, Peru.

Liz, meanwhile, is at home in Trimont, taking care of Guardian, and watching movies with her friend, Rachel.

Hey Carl,
So glad you finally got there. I see you had a final steak supper Saturday nite. Are you afraid they only eat kangaroo or other strange meats??? I'm sure they even have a Mcdonalds for you if you have a big mac attack!!! Have fun and will catch you later.auntie val
