| El sexto día |
| We've coined random few times here, but Saturday definitely iced the top. When I was sleeping I forgot about the morning and joined the day in the afternoon. I met up with Aaron Robson who is attending Rice University. Coincidence that in a city the size of Houston, I am within walking distance of the Rice Campus. Aaron and I spun yawns, and I'm going to watch him race Conference this weekend. Hassle and I ran into eachother in the afternoon when I was trying to edit some video. Don't worry, neither of us were hurt too badly. As a result though I actually lost a bunch of video clips from the last few days of travelling. There is alot worse things that can happen in life. There is a good sized cold front working through Texas right now, and with the added moisture in the air it starts to get pretty nipply pretty quick. It is nothing like the -32 I saw that hit Edmonton a few days back, but still damn cold. I am without complaints as it is winter, and the next few days are going to bring 26 degrees. Dinner reservations at an Italian Restaurant. The restaurant was packed, and I'm not sure if that is any excuse for how loud everyone was talking. Great meal. And then the lounge creeps up. We met up with more friends of Al's, from triathlon training. Alot of nice people, and even a fellow Canadian from Calgary. Canadians were summed as having tiny ears, and looking like Movie stars. Mike, looked similar to ralph fiennes, and I apparently look like an actor from A beautiful mind, (not Russel Crowe). I'm not too sure about the acting bit, but tiny ears sounds alright. You know those situations where someone is talking with someone else, and you catch their attention? They are then paying attention to you, and not to whoever is talking to them. Well there was a short hispanic girl talking to a guy that had his back to me. I looked over and noticed that she was extremely bored in her conversation. After a few really funny smiles, and hand motions, I quickly changed into spandex and saved the day with an interuption. We had a really good talk. I still haven't figured out what to call people from Ecuador, but that is where she if from; Ecuadorian? A breif geography lesson, some confusion with Guatemala, and I was well on my way to French and Spanish Lessons. We were meant to get something to eat after(that appetite of mine...) with a few of her friends, but that didn't work out, and the night reached an end. One is in Texas, one in Soeul, two in Edmonton and the journey continues. |
