Today was a very easy, fun, and relaxed day. In the morning, we went to a neighborhood which is within walking distance from campus and did work on rounded corners. it was brutally hot out, and Deedee was not interested in working at all. Luckily, the route was only about a mile or so, so it wasn't that bad. I find she ets bored with nondestination routes though. Endora was the same way, which is fine with me, because I don't do a lot of pointless walking outside of class.
in the afternoon, we drove to China Camp Park and let the dogs swim in the bay. I was the only one who brought my swimsuit, though some of my classmates went in with shorts on and waded. But Deedee and I all out swamm together. She loves the water, and the instructors say she looks like a little seal. One of them took 11 minutes of video on my cell phone, and i had someone watch it, and they said it was very good quality. Unfortunately, I tried to upload it to youtube, but i got an error message saying it was too long. Maybe I have to have a paid account or something, because I've seen videos on there that are much longer. If that doesn't work, I'll upload it to my server and post the link here so if you feel like downloading 68 megabytes of footage, you are more than welcome to.
There is a night route but I am not going. i felt I should, since I didn't actually complete Tuesday's route, but i was tired and not too familiar with the route they were doing, so i decided to avoid risking getting lost for a second time.
Tomorrow should be an easy day. We go to Muir Woods in the morning, and the afternoon is ours to shop or pack or rest. I want to get my nails done for graduation. I also have to stop in at the gift shop.
I bet it was fun to swim with DoodleBug! Relaxing for you as well. Would have been cool to watch too. Damn utube,eh?
I can understand you not wanting to get lost again. You know your routes at home,so you could get used to night travel once you are settled. That's one reasonI love having Toby. I cna go anywhere I want day or night now. After our night walk at CVC,I sat down on the floor in the lounge,hugged her and cried. It was the first time in 6 1/2 years I could go out at night without a sighted guide.
