Cheeseburger in Paradise: Thursday

[kellan_the_tabby]

Still no actual cheeseburgers. Though I think Lewis had one for lunch today, actually.

Thursday, around one, waiting for the shuttle

Saw Sunset last night, though we didn't take any time to shop. Then lovely Thai food for dinner and back to the hotel. I am sunburnt (my own fault) and have blisters on my feet (I thought the shoes I brought were all broken in...), but I have partially mitigated both situations with prudent application of a grocery store run.

Met Bruce's wife yesterday. She seems nice. We talked about food, travelling with our husbands (and wow, am I still getting used to saying that) and the heat.

Slept in again today. ALl the walking is really taking it out of me. Good for me, though.

Breakfast at the Waffle House, then the aforementioned grocery store run for sunscreen and inserts for my shoes. Thought about moleskin, but the lack of scissors made that moot.

So Lewis called, and now we're staying until Saturday. He asked me if I wanted to go home Friday - ha! Like that was gonna happen.

With any luck I'll get to meet him for lunch, at least, No idea if we're going to get to see Karen at all, but she'll be up in Pennsylvania in two weeks so if nothing else we can hang out then.

I'm still getting used to getting along so well with my sister. I like it, though.

afternoon, Duval Street

I have purchased prezzies for giselle0002 and meradudd, and I found coins for Derek, too. So all I still need is the small plates.

Every time I have picked something up with the intention of purchasing it, someone has called. First it was Karen, then Mom; honestly I don't know how she's running the place without me.

I'm not answering it again unless it's Lewis, Gise, or Tim. And possibly not even the latter two; my phone is running low on juice and Lewis _has_ to be able to get hold of me.

Just got to pet a Very Cute little dog - possibly the calmest Chihuahua I've ever met. Licked my chin. Very sweet.

Currently the staff of the smoothie place I'm ensconced in is bored, and thus playing with hula hoops.

Feet are feeling a little better; thus, onward.

Nota bene: Bruce is one of Lewis's co-workers and the guy he's working with this trip. Nice guy, short-haired and pretty conservative in a lot of ways, but reads fantasy novels. Go figure.

Mom doesn't know Karen's coming up, so (yeah, this'll happen) if you talk to her, don't mention it.

We didn't manage to get out to see Karen that night, either.
