Getting ready for the next day

After our excellent lunch, Gail and her mother went to tan on the beach while Gen and Tyler took a walk into town. Mr Excitement went to his room and took a two hour nap in his 110 degree room. Since Gail and her mother still weren't back and I had no idea where Tyler and Gen were I went down into the lobby to watch TV. It was much cooler down there thanks to a nice breeze blowing in from the sea through the open windows. Next thing I knew, the nasty Hotel Witch was closing all the windows. As soon as she left the room, I reopened them. A few minutes later she came back and yelled at me claiming the a/c was on. It soon got so hot I went back to my steambath of a hotel room. Our dinner was one of the more disappointing meals of the trip. The dining room in the hotel was not air-conditioned. We had some decent rolls but the butter was totally melted so we had to eat them plain. We had a mysterious green vegetable soup with chicken as the main course. The chicken was on the bone and tasted gamey to me. Many of the kids in the group headed off to a bar with Jurgen in order to watch Italy's World Cup soccer game that night. The five of us decided to take another walk through town. Walking down toward town we watched the workers on the private beaches straightening the beach chairs and rolling the sand until it was smooth.

Instead I had my last Sam's Cola that I had brought from home and kept cold in my room's refrigerator and ate some trail mix. As usual we go ... read more
