Scuba diving was cancelled today. The weather wasn’t bad, but apparently it had been windy earlier so the silt had gotten stirred up. Visibility was low. Which is probably for the best as I was up way too late yesterday.
I’ve been trying a bit of an experiment. I’m avoiding caffeinated beverages in the afternoon and evening. Caffeine has been hitting me harder and longer lately, so I’d like to see if I sleep better without it.
Of course sleeping is hard in the cold rooms. They aren’t that cold, and we keep the temperature fairly high, but it is still cooler than the blazing outside. So when you come into the room, it feels like it is freezing. Plus 25 celsius is not freezing. (Literally or figuratively.)
Yesterday a bunch of friends arrived, so the resort is picking up. They were still tired from the trip, so tonight should be even better. But until then, it was nice to see everyone. We did the catch up.
A good friend from Germany brought his “best friend” and she seems fairly nice and I’ve enjoyed being with her. It is making the trip better. We had a nice lunch today, (where one of the hosts was insistent that he should have my Death Race shirt. He does look like he was built to run it.) and I learned a lot about Germany’s view on the world economy. This is why these people make the resort better; you get intelligent conversation from interesting people. In the Swinger’s section I would be surprised to find non-drunk dialogue.
But I did meet a nice woman who was clearly inebriated, but was still rather touch-feely. She was a young widow, but her friend had assigned her husband to chaperone.
