Rachel visits Poughkeepsie! or Cousins with the same Initials



Rachel arrived later than expected. The anticipation had strained Roku's already torn ACL. She pulled up alongside Roku's house and was greeted with an eager, high pitched "Rachel?!?!?!" from a bicyclist on the sidewalk. They were reunited.
After hosiptably serving some Tiger beer toted all the way from Singapore, Roku began offering dinner options. Option one was to go to senior housing and get a free, homemade slew of international dishes prepared by the international students. Option two, to go pay for dinner in town. After deciding on option one, our party of four showed up at the international dinner, only to turn around literally on the front step after Roku declared "This is going to be weird." The cousins then went out to a beautiful dinner in town, and afterward raged with some college kids dressed in plastic in the dorms. It was a beautiful evening.
