Arrival

Today we had an early start in chilly weather. We arrived at the airport with plenty of time to check in get to our gate. The flight was very full and the seat I was assigned was the last row window seat. I sat down to find that the shade was pulled down and proceeded to open it. To my dismay, the view was completely obstructed by the engine. I therefore slept for as much of the flight as possible. When we arrived and checked out the cars we would be renting, we drove to El Indio which had amazing Mexican food!! After dinner we proceeded to the hotel, checked in, and piled back into the cars and headed to a hiking trail in the mountains. After battling with the usual breathing issues, I was able to take in the amazing views of the landscape. After walking back, a handful of us took one of the cars to a few shopping centers in search of such necessities as swim suits and sunscreen. Once we came back to the hotel, we changed into our suits and relaxed in the hot tub for a while. Upon my return to the hotel room I attempted to boot up my computer to write this blog and discovered that the motherboard is blown and am thus writing this on my iPod touch!
