6 things I would never admit to actually loving about Toledo, Ohio...

6. University of Michigan Frat Parties. It was Saturday, the weather was beautiful and I had NEVER been to a Michigan football game...so Megan and I decided to go to the game last-minute and of course we stopped by Paul's frat house to teach them a little somethin somethin about flip cup. Yep, we still got it! But, nope, no one believed we lived in South Quad and were still in college. You win some you lose some, I guess.


5. Late night games of Ping Pong & Early AM Bowls of Cereal. I love ping pong. Love it. Whenever I come home I make whoever is around the house play ping pong with me, even if it means midnight on a school night. After a usually easy win (okay, aside from when I play against Mo) and a good night sleep on my favorite couch in the living room, my morning starts off with a nice big bowl of cereal at the kitchen counter with mama. Ahhh, the good times.

4. Gloria @ David Broadway Salon. Gloria is the best.hairstylist.ever. Granted David Broadway charges 3X the price of the average Toledo salon, but they just do such an amazing job! Oh and there's a super secret backroad route there that cuts down drive time by 50%.

3. iHop Brunches & Wildwood Orange Trail Sundays. Mama & Papa Bhatia wanted to do something different for my last Sunday in America...so they took me out to their favorite brunch spot in all of Toledo. Where did we go? To iHop. Yes, iHop. To be honest, I've never had better chocolate chip pancakes in my life but I may or may not have gained 3 lbs just in that restaurant. So, well, we decided that we must go for a walk in the park to help combat the thousands of calories we just consumed and went on a 2.1 mile walk at Wildwood Metro Park. It was the second longest trail in the park. Welcome to the midwest.

2. Mexican Restaurants Where Everyone Knows Our Name. Loma Linda's might not be the tastiest mexican food ever but they are possibly the nicest restaurant ever. Every time we walk in we are greeted with the biggest smiles and taken to the first booth that opens up closest to the window in the back room...what can I say, Bhatias love the outdoors.

1. The New Taco Bell on Central Avenue. Sorry, what can I say? It takes less than 4.5 minutes to get there by car and the drive thru is open till 2 am on weekdays. Holla!


Ok bye, Toledo! Bye USofA! More when I get back to India :)
