First off, please note that it is just past 7am, and I am on vacation. Am I snuggled warm in bed sleeping? No, I am not. Hrmph. Haven't slept well this trip. Oh well. At least I'm getting up early on my day. Second, it should be noted that the years I have spent working inside sitting on my ass in front of a computer have rendered me completely useless as I got thoroughly sunburned yesterday. It's as if I forgot what the sun does. It burns, let me tell you. Finally, I got my wish of drinking martinis in the Bendistillery martini bar (By the way, the kidlet has a new volcabulary word. Can't wait 'til he tells his teachers, hey! when can we go to the martini bar?). I had three, which for me is quite the bender. Best one? Blackberry n' gin, made with fruit, not some goopy syrup or liqueur. My dad is an excellent travel companion, which I have always known. He instilled in me a love of exploration, and for that (among many other things) I am grateful.
Today I get to take the car and be set free to wander about on my own. All day! And I don't have to play mommy. G&G spoil not only the kidlet, but me as well. We're lucky. Now I just have to figure out how much I want to plan my adventures for the day.

"Ah hell, Dean, I'm going in the back seat, I can't stand it any more, I can't look."
"Hee-hee-hee!" tittered Dean and he passed a car on a narrow bridge and swerved in the dust and roared on....
