ROAD TRIP!

Sus here. We’ve decided it’s time to start using our blog more like, well, a blog. Since we now have an official website where you can find our episodes and the info about them, we thought it’d be fun to make the blog more of an inside look into the between-the-episodes/ behind-the-scenes goings on of Sus & Chlo on the Go... and maybe an inside look into the minds of Sus and Chlo (us), too. Though why you would want to look in there, I’m not entirely sure. Good luck with that.

Anywho, we’re on the road again on an epic filming adventure… and it feels fantastic. [Here I must insert a quick shout out to our wonderfully supportive friends, family members, friends of friends, and generous strangers who, via Kickstarter, helped us “keep the show on the road,” so to speak.]

We just finished filming episode 5 in Minneapolis/St. Paul! And we had a freaking good time. Seriously. We’re now considering moving to the Twin Cities. Not sure how my Georgia skin would fare in the winter… but this past week’s visit was simply glorious. Glo. ri. ous.

Right now Chloe’s driving (which is pretty unusual, actually) and we are on the road in the middle of nowhere, North Dakota.

Why are we here, you ask? We’re on our way out to the Pacific Northwest, where we’ll be filming next. On our way West (aka now) we’re planning to visit Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Devil’s Tower, the Bear Tooth Highway (northern Yellowstone N.P), Glacier National Park, and I’m sure we’ll see some other great American treasures too (world’s largest ball of twine, anyone?) Any suggestions for our journey? Comment below!

We plan to post updates on those adventures via our facebook page (facebook.com/susandchlo) and via this blog/online journal. We’ll try to do some video blogging, too!

That’s mostly it for now. Cheers.

Later (Day 1)
A couple noteworthy events of the day: 1- We saw the World's Largest Buffalo. No lie.
Thank you, Jamestown, ND.

2- Based on a recommendation from someone we met in Minneapolis, we had dinner at Kroll's Diner in Bismarck, ND (the capital and where we're camped for the night.)



I learned this week that North Dakota is heavily influenced by its Germanic roots * and Kroll's has several traditional German items on the menu. As suggested from our Mpls friend, we ordered the Knoephla (a dumpling dish- they're also famous for "Knoephla soup") and Fleischkuechle(basically a hamburger wrapped in pastry and fried.) Both were SO GOOD.

*According to Wikipedia, the Dakotas are the only two states where German is the most common language spoken at home after English (the second most spoken language in other states is either Spanish or French).




Apparently Kroll's has a few locations throughout North Dakota, so if you're ever in the area, make it happen.
