Day 5: Taking the helm, football, and more of Canton

Mr. Troyer dropped Ryan and me off at the building early this morning, where we were informed that we could't really go anywhere until about 11. This seemed to irritate a few people at first (these are the same people who have complained about nearly every stop on the trip, by the way), but I guess nobody had a problem with it. While most everyone was waiting at the North Canton coC building, the minister grabbed a church van and took 9 of us to the Football Hall of Fame. It was great - lots of interesting football history, a neat little movie at the end, and I can say that I've been there and Randy hasn't. Take that.

We came back to the church and hopped the bus, where we soon dropped the director and all but 23 of the choir at a dinner theatre production of "7 Brides for 7 Brothers." With the director gone, that made me the ranking agent onsite for the mall excursion, which nearly began with getting lost. Here's a helpful hint: when a numbered highway splits into three numbered highways, "just go straight" is not a helpful indication. The bus driver and I have a good rapport, and we figured out our missed turn pretty quickly (no one on the bus noticed).

After shopping time, we picked the dinner theatre folks up and headed to Cuyahoga Falls, which is on the north side of Akron, for our concert tonight. Went well. Tonight, I'm staying with the Troyer's aunt and uncle, whose kids I hung out with while here for the wedding. It's been fun. They have pizza that's almost as good as Johnny's.
