We
made our way to Canada in EPCOT, to meet with many of our friends at 11:00am,and
from there to go exploring and enjoying the park. Some of our friends were
already waiting when we arrived, and several more showed up soon after.
We all hugged and chatted excitedly over the past evening, and in anticipation
of the day's plans. It quickly became apparent that there were several different
things people wanted to do, and so we decided to split up into smaller groups,
and to meet again at 2:00pm.
The
day had already become hot and humid and almost unbearably sticky. As much
as John and I wanted to walk around the World Showcase with several of our
friends, we opted instead to join those going to the Living Seas, as the
idea of air conditioning appealed to us greatly.
We
visited the Living Seas, Innoventions, and Test Track, before heading back
to the World Showcase for the 2:00pm rendezvous at China. We stopped at
Mexico along the way, to watch the flamingos and pick up some Margueritas.
The Cantina has great margueritas, and the hot, sticky weather just begged
for that kind of refreshment.
At
the China Pavilion, we met up again with several of our friends, and watched
the acrobats perform. We waited to see if anyone else would show up, and
when no one did, we split up again. While John and I wanted to wander with
the World Showcase with Kendra, Caleb, and Michelle, we just could not muster
the energy to brave the heat - and so we retreated with the others to the
Universe of Energy (yet another air conditioned building).
We
wandered throughout Epcot for the remainder of the afternoon. Some of our
friends found the character caravan, and had several pictures taken with
Eeyore, before coming to meet at the Italy Pavilion in preparation for our
final group dinner at Alfredo's. As we all arrived, the Masquerade was finishing
their performance - a wonderful pantomine of life at the Court of a King,
and the intrigues and loves therein. It certainly was a favorite of everyone
who saw the performance.
And then it was time for dinner!
