Went to bed at about 12:30 and actually had a pretty decent sleep last night. I didn't really feel the need to have a nap, but we went back to the apartment to rest before going to meet Sensei Adrienne and Rob and Sensei Nakamura for Chinese dinner.

Last day, gotta go to the beach, eat some fish and key lime pie. Mission accomplished, over and out.

It's our second last day here. We met Sensei Darryl for a farewell lunch today at a Vietnamese restaurant. Food was ok, biggest Vietnamese menu I've ever seen.

Met Sensei Han and Holly for dinner at PJ's Oyster Bar. The place was packed. The fish was good and perfectly cooked.
