Tequila Sunrise

The drive over wasn't too bad. I drove with Kim and Julie and we bumped and beeped and thumped with our robot music all the way to Balmorhea. The drive wasn't too bad, I drive a '97 Saturn and as such it's pretty aerodynamic. I stuck pretty close to the speed limit the entire way, though the other car (Matt drives a Honda CRV) swears that I was hitting the triple digits. Mom, I swear I wasn't.

We had a pretty uneventful drive, save for a few stop overs that ended up almost taking all the time we saved by taking forever to eat or pee or whatever the hell they were doing. We got to the park, checked in, got our gear (SCUBA) and got unpacked and still had time to go swimming in the pool/lake/spring. Everyone seemed to really like it and the girls actually went swimming too!. The pool is a little different than I remember, the bottom seems less interesting (the rocks have been moved I think) though all this is from the surface, not from underwater where I saw it last time.

We went back (swimming in warm water makes you cold when you get out...very, very cold) and I made everyone some mushroom, green onion, lime, ginger udon (Japanese noodle dish). I went into the town with Katie and Tiffany to get a few supplies that we had forgotten and everyone else relaxed on the bed and watched Contact on the TV. Julie and I planned the dive (that should take place shortly) and then I went to bed alone with my fan in the kitchen.

I woke up pretty early (I went to bed about ten and got up this morning about six) and made everyone pancakes. They seemed to enjoy and I didn't want anyone to skip out the most important meal of the day. Well, now that everyone is up (they missed the most beautiful sunrise) I think we're going to the pool and I get to hang out underwater...I'll post about my dive later tonight.


Morning I'm waking up...can't focus on the coffee cup...
