With the walks around the park consuming the better part of 8 hours each day, my morning runs have not been occurring. Instead I have continued with the morning sun salutation of stretches. It seems to clear the mind and stretch out the kinks more so than a run. Plus my feet have been aching by the end of the day... which is understandable.
Yesterday we opted to sleep in but that didnt result in much later than usual. And we ended up at EPCOT pretty much the same time as every other park day. So much for sleeping in.
There were only a few things in Future World we wanted to see... Energy, Mission Space, Imagination. They have dumbed down The Living Seas and I would much rather spend that time at the aquarium in Georgia. And we saw The Land and Spaceship Earth the night before.
So we were on to World Showcase at a reasonably early hour. First stop - UK! Of course we went to Rose & Crown for a beer. I must say it was early but one of my more pleasant experiences there to date. Very few people inside. Even had a chat with Gavin from Wales our bartender.
From there were went to the French movie. I like that movie. If they could reconfigure it to the Soarin format it would be really cool. (Yes, you may be noting, what about Canada? I am not a standing in a theater in the round type of girl). We had pastries that werent good at all. They tasted stale and over-refridgerated. We had wine. That was OK but small pours in plastic glasses were not worth the price. Off to Morocco. Everyone suggested their tangerine daiquiri. But to be honest at that point walking around the shops and the smell of the ever present incense was enough for there. I have had dinner there before and it was amazing. We opted to not do any big meals like that this time around.
USA! We saw the fife and drum band, the choral group, and the show. Why do I always feel like I am either going to burst into tears or fall dead asleep in that show? They added a cameo of Steve Jobs in the closing movie.... kinda like that credit to garage computer creation in Spaceship Earth...
Back to Italy... oh did I mention the perfume in France? We caught the sales woman's attention at my "I want to be Charlize Theron" when I grow up comment. Actually liked Jadore but there was another that appealed to me more. May grab some before we leave.
There was a juggling mime in Italy. There was a chocolate shop (Werthers mostly) in Germany. Italy lucked out again as our main meal of the day. We decided the crisps and pastries just werent enough by 4pm.
But pretty soon after we got pretty darned tired. The air cooled down. A storm blew up. We went threw Norway and Mexico and opted to head home. Exhaustion overshadowed the magic that is Disney.
Oh one last magical item I did buy yesterday... a frangipani stick. Stop laughing. I have researched this for years. And the only place to buy them is to have them shipped in stick form from Florida. They were selling for the same price - without shipping - yesterday... so I bought one. Wish me luck on that.
Still in training. Not sure for what these days. But tracking my COVID quarantine.
