Oklahoma City

I'm in Oklahoma City and it's better than what everyone says. And here's why: you got to know where the things are around here. Luckily, I've stumbled upon some people who do know and yesterday I had such a good evening because of them. There are four people: Christine and Jacob, Penelope and Loren. Yesterday we went out for dinner first at a place called Iguana - this place even had a party bus that went to all the parties in Oklahoma City. Something I didn't completely understand since it was a normal restaurant. Ok, so it was on the hip side, but having a party bus attached to it is a bit much. After this we went to this place called Cuppies and Jo's which was a normal house that was turned into a cupcake place. According to Christine there were a lot of cupcake places all over town, so they must really like their cakes here in Oklahoma. Finally, we ended the night in a bar inside a dome, where the drinks were terribly expensive but also terribly good, so it all evened out.

So in the morning I had the best French toast in the history of Oklahoma (and maybe even man) and then went on to Bricktown to see what that was all about. Well, it's not about much, let me tell you that. Thankfully, I had learned from my four local friends the night before that I only had to go down Western and then make a right at 30th street to get to the Art District of the city. Pretty good decision right there. Even though the art district isn't huge, it was still cozy and on a summer's day (which it is today, weather-wise) it was a good day for that.

Further down Western is the "cool" part of Oklahoma City and it was actually the best part I've seen so far. Again, not huge, but trendy enough to have some good coffee houses and shops and so on. I must say I've enjoyed myself so far.

And tomorrow I might go to a church before hitting the bus. I kind of want to see this Christianity for myself.
