Full disclosure: after our wonderful lunch yesterday Kim and I stopped in at "the Best Chocolate Store" to top off the lunch with a little dessert. I failed to mention it yesterday because, even though I did buy two pieces of chocolate, one chocolate truffle and one chocolate covered nuts, I only really love plain milk chocolate, which they did not have. But Kim placed a picture of the store with a captions leading people to my blog. Social media can certainly get complicated.
Last night I never fell asleep during services or before dinner. I actually enjoyed services, but not at a participant. It was just the Hazon group and they formed a circle in the middle of a large room. I was in the room but towards the back lying down, relaxing and as an observer. It was nice.
Today has been very pleasant. Woke up around 9:00, had a leisurely cup of coffee, a simple pleasure that I love and usually do not have time to enjoy. Left here around 11:00 with Kim, Terry and Freddie to do laundry and go out to lunch. We found a great Mexican restaurant near the laundromat and I ordered huevoes ranchero which is one of my favorite brunch meals and it was delicious. Terry treated both Kim and I which was very nice as well.
We got back to the JCC and I decided to check out the water area which I had been hearing so much about. It was quite amazing. This is the fanciest outdoor water area I have ever seen for a JCC. First of all it's huge. Second it has at least a dozen 18 ft expanse umbrellas (one of which I am siting under now). It also has a huge water slide, a lazy river, a large outdoor pool and a very large area for kids with waterfalls and other things spraying all over the place. And the water temperature is like bath water. And it wasn't crowded. No wait for the water slide. Not sure how many times I went down, but it was definitely fun.
Came back to Mr. Cohen's room and planned to just rest a bit, but fell asleep for 2 hours. I hear people getting ready for dinner. Time to go. I may be able to stay up until after Havdalah tonight. This could be a first.
