OK I dropped the Day Number X format, couldn’t remember anymore.

I’m up first to do a bit of a workout but the village exercise room is claustrophobic for the style I do especially with two people already there. Junior washing the pool deck declines my request to take one of the yoga mats outside. Power tripper. End up just in the underground garage in a bit of a sun spot.

Yes the sun is out and it is a very nice day. We have a big breakfast and head out onto the beach. You can see why they call it Cinnamon Beach. Lotsa shells and a light brown colour. Not very busy and no one in the water – chicks walk north to do their thing (see below), I head south.

I have to do some work – non CIBC which is nice – so head back to the condo. End up pretty much inside until 4 pm when I finish my last Zoom call.

Ladies come back and we do an early dinner as Joy has to depart around 5 pm to catch her flight. Big hugs all around as we launch her into her Uber for the 1.5 hour drive to Orlando airport.

The weather deteriorates a bit but still comfortable. Around 9 pm the three of us decide to sneak back into the hot tub like last night. Says closed of course but nothing stops us again so we go in and enjoy the hot tub in solitude. We hear and Liz sees someone at the gates so we hide a bit and keep quiet for 10 minutes until they are gone. Ha! We’re so clever.

Maybe not – as we try to leave we see the 8-foot gates are not only closed but locked. We’re locked in! We head to the lake side and find a little path, probably made by the alligators that live there and follow it around. I’m sure I taste terrible but no ‘gators in sight anyway. Path leads us around and out.

Finish my book (Achilles Song, great read), coupla glasses of wine and we all call it a night.
