GREAT 3-mile run. Out the door at 5:45 a.m. Still dark. Could see the lights of the pier in the distance. Amazing I can even see that far. The pier is beautiful all lit up. Much cooler before the sun comes up. Was able to sit and watch it rise from the pier for just a while, while sipping my latte, before heading back to the resort, a nice easy 3-mile walk, quick pace. Not many people out this early, but plenty on the way back - some runners. Saw a water spout out at the horizon. Amazingly enough, considering all I have consumed, I feel relatively light -- still. A few more days of this though, and I'm sure it would catch up with me. May run again tonight at sunset. Been wanting some ice cream and there is a Cold Stone Creamery at the pier as well -- not open in the a.m. (good thing). It's just that the last time I was here and ran in the p.m. there is just a lot more rift raft out at the pier at night and there were plenty of hoots and hollers -- I don't particularly care for that! I guess in the a.m. they are still all in bed.

 

Went to an ice cream place a night or two ago https://www.ritters.com/index.html I thought it was GREAT! but my best friend didn't like it so much. As a matter of fact, it made his stomach hurt :~[

 

In my haste to pack for the trip I threw in a smaller bottle of contact solution and a new contact case only to find out when I arrived that that contact case ALREADY had a pair of contacts in it. So, all week I've been dealing with this one contact case and two pairs of contacts. Fortunately, there is enough difference between the two not to be a BIG problem. I guess if a couple were wanting to pack really, really light they could share a contact case, if they both wore contacts. However, I don't recommend it.
