This morning I drove North to my high school friend Lisa's house. She lives in a beautiful community that has a great gym in the neighborhood. I was so excited to get a good work out in. Lisa's schedule unfortunately got a little screwy and she had to work today so I had a relaxing afternoon with her daughter Maddy. I spend some QT with my new camera, reading the manual, learning about all the cool features and downloading the software. I am so happy I made the decision to get a decent camera for this trip. We went out to dinner and went to bed early. I am sure tomorrow will be much more fun-filled. Lisa has tomorrow off and we are all getting a good night sleep.

I am officially getting super excited to leave the country. Less then a week to go.
