Caffeine is my friend. It keeps me awake when I’ve only had five hours of sleep. And the cool stuff happens when you are awake, and not asleep in your room.
I am a bit worried about sunburn. I was out participating in a class, and I had bit of trouble staying in the shade. At intermission I grabbed some sunscreen and smeared myself. No burns to report.
I did spend the end of the afternoon with the instructor watching the sunset. He’s a good guy, and it was pleasant to be in a tropical climate and watching beautiful scenery and discussing Canadian comedy bands. We only ended because our group was getting together to take over the Italian restaurant.
The meal was okay; the beef wasn’t Albertan. There was good company, and a nice performance. A woman at our table was also a marathon runner so I spent a lot of time talking to her about running during and after the meal. It was great to meet someone with such a similar interest here. My local friends have said that doing the Death Race has made me a more interesting person and I was able to put that to the test.
If only she didn’t have a girlfriend…
I met the widow again, and I’m not sure I enjoy being around her much. I think she has been without a man for awhile and so was rather forward. I think I feel sorry for her more than attracted. I also got hurt by her ministrations. So, it is safe to say that I will not have intimate relations with people just to have intimate relations.
I did talk to the restaurant performer afterwards and found out she was good friends with the woman I knew in Los Angeles. It was nice to catch up and find out how she was doing. We’ll probably get together tomorrow and do other stuff.
