Relaxation Is Exhausting

I love this shot of a couple at Epcot, they were simply shot at the end of the day. So were we. Maria and I do not know how to relax, we discover. Today was a carefully planned day, a trip to the Animal Kingdom, an afternoon of rest, an evening search for dinner. As it turned out, we were on the move from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m., I thought my feet were going to fall off. We just don’t really know how to stop.

Last night, we went to the Chinese Pavilion at Epcot and it is ironic, but we had perhaps the worst Chinese food I can ever recall having – how can the Chinese screw up vegetable fried rice? Tonight, we had a great Mexican dinner at the (relatively) new Cantina by the water. It was great. We have two full days left on our vacation, we did sun in the sun on a bench at Epcot for a half hour or so and I rubbed Maria’s feet. Some women offered to pay me to rub theirs. I told them I would get back to them.

It seems that relaxing is exhausting. I walked six miles today, blisters or no, and I felt good about all my cardiac rehab work. Blisters will not stop me. Tomorrow, we plan to visit the Magic Kingdom in the morning, and then relax in the afternoon. We’ll see what that means.
