A Visit to Madison

The four of us recently traveled to Madison to visit my brother, Mike. He's attending the University there and will be graduating with a degree in Microbiology in a few weeks, (My brother Aaron also attends UW Madison, and is in his second year studying Computer Engineering.)

Mike lives with his two best friends, Marcus and Bub . . .



. . . in a 1 bedroom apartment. Hence . . . "The Triple Bunk"! (It really is a sight to see, I have to say.)While we were there, we were able to help out with, what has come to be known as, "Free Food". Mike and 10 or so of his friends put together a hot meal (below is Bub with his famous chicken casserole that he makes every week), pair it with whatever donations they can gather (pizzas, day-old bagels, etc.) and head downtown. Every Sunday, no matter the weather, they are there at 4pm to serve anyone who might need a hot meal and someone to talk to. They've been doing this faithfully for a couple of years and have had the chance to meet and serve hundreds of people.

Out for lunch with Mike, his roommate, Marcus, and his girlfriend, Sara.

Mike and Sara also cooked for us while we were there. Here we're eating an African stew that was delicious!
