At last, some photos

For Tony, some pictures. This one is when I was acting like a little kid at the beach and letting the waves bury my feet.



This one was when I was all excited that I was staring into the infinite awesomeness of the ocean.



This one is just cause it's pretty.



This one is from when I was having a love affair with the sand. I miss San Diego!

Last traveling thoughts...

I have officially nicknamed Albuquerque "brown town." Cause everything there is brown. It's a desert with a bunch of brown houses. If I end up there, I hope it will change my mind! May and I stayed there together and when we drove up to our hotel it was called the Raddison "Resort and Waterpark." And we said, "huh?"

We tried to find a waterpark inside but there wasn't one. Then, when we were coming back from dinner, we saw a waterslide coming out of the building adjacent to the building with our room. We tried to go on a safari to find the slide. We ended up walking up these stairs that had signs saying, "Caution. Stairs under construction." Except the stairs weren't under construction so it was really confusing. Then we got to the second floor landing and saw the reason for the warnings. There was totally just a hole in the wall with plastic sheeting leading into an abyss. It looked totally creepy like part of a horror movie set. We kept walking up the stairs and the carpet was weirdly wet. When we got to the third floor landing there was another scary door. May turned to me and said, "I don't think I want to go any farther." After a quick, "Me either!" We ran back down the stairs hysterically laughing. (I know I am prone to hyperbole, but I seriously was hysterically laughing, at least partially due to the fear of the horror movie staircase. I had to stop a couple times on the walk down the hall to catch my breath and stop the ab spasms.)

As for Baltimore, Charm City is a totally apt nickname. So f'ing cute. Not much to say about the city other than that. No Bodie sightings Chez.
