Sept/Oct

Forgot to publish this one so will do it now...just a short one...the other is a damn long one....

Well the bureaucracy hit a new high or is it a low here...with regards to the marathon and other runs.....Friday October 17, we were supposed to register at some place a few kilometres away..Jennifer, a colleague and David Morris the resident lawyer went there....we were met by Kim Tretheway who had registered earlier and warned us it was going to be challenging.....three hours later...we all had our numbers but I was the only one that had only minor problems...David had his number in the computer but they did not have a number for him nor much else.....Jennifer did not even have a number and had to spend hours waiting for it....with spitting, pushing, shoving, grabbing, cursing because people were butting into the line up...it was a real disaster....I felt sorry for many people who were running on Sunday...and then we had to celebrate and eat after having survived this....got back to the apartment at about 9 and the party was in full swing....well , I was up for it that night...so pd off at the situation

Off we went to several bars....chicken skewers at about 1 am and to a bar called swingers....some dancing..even got up enough courage to ask another lady for a dance..she was from Massachusetts and I forgot to even tell her I was there this spring...anyway...my crew left me....and I didn't see them go....so I stayed out and had a chat with the bar tenders until about 4:30..also watched some of the "ladies of the night" plying their trade...it is an interesting place...but wasn't a good thing for training but I slept in and that was good...
