What state is round on both sides and hi in the middle?

Cuyahoga River

Long overdue update:

The first week of the project went well and we are into the latter stages of our second week, which will include the weekend. The mosquitoes are out in force, unfortunately there is little room left for any more bites (are around left eye swollen, look like Steve Nash in the 2nd round of the playoffs this year), sometimes you have to wonder why those insects exist (yes we know bats do eat them)

Our crew is getting along well and we are looking forward to our free days next week to explore more of the area. One destination will be the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Downtown Cleveland. Look out for pictures from that.

Here are a few pics, enjoy!

Side note: Game 7 of the NBA Finals 2010 was a good defensive game, ugly offense but good defense. Got to give credit to both teams for going for the ultimate goal in their league, hope the two teams meet again next year. Props to Ron Artest, if anyone has dreams of getting into the NBA, watch how he plays defense and you will understand why coaches and teams love to have a lock down defender playing for them.
