Day 276: Thursday, August 13

We woke up bright and early to watch the Blue Angels practice. Impressive! I love how they fly so fast that their sound follows distinctly behind them. The pictures are pretty small, but you can get the gist of the formations.


Mike had kind of a trauma late last night. He came up from underwater in the pool and lost both contacts! Thankfully, one was on his cheek, but the other one was gone for good. We know because we spent over an hour combing the pool for it. (Of course, I brought along spares haha) So after the Blue Angels, we found a contact place where we tried to get a replacement contact. The hard part with this scenario is that we both have an astigmatism and they don't have boxes of those in stock. Truly, all we wanted was one of those singles the eye doctor gives you when you are trying out new contacts or waiting for yours to come in. We were willing to buy one and everything. I guess they weren't so willing to give us one do to liability or something. So we left there feeling a little frustrated. We tried Wal-Mart next. Apparently nobody has the contacts in stock or is willing to dole one out to a poor out of town guest. Until the lady at the eye place did something drastic - she surreptitiously gave us one on the sly. Does this mean I can no longer trash talk Wal-Mart?
