One Week

How to keep this brief .... I love my apartment.  I made friends on the Pirate cruise.  I've never seen so many good restaurants in my life and I'm evaluating them for your visits.

Turns out that walking four or five miles a day can result in excruciating leg and foot cramps.  I’m cutting back to a mile or two. Pretending you can still hike difficult mountain trails to see spectacular waterfalls?  Forget about it!  No more will I be tempted to attempt such challenges.
