    This was the pool party day, and I got to admit it was pretty hard getting up. I try to sleep in as long as possible, but it was almost noon and the party was starting outside. I begrudgingly got up and went out there, and it was a wonderful day of playing in the pool, and drinking beers, and singing karaoke, and meeting all sorts of new and interesting people – a great time.

    In the evening we all went out to some various pubs. The first bar was an interesting place that had video games all around the walls. We got a drink there and stayed a while and then we went to the second bar which had a nice vibe to it (albeit loud inside) though we hung out in the patio area for a little while. The third bar was the most interesting as it was a theater – and they may even still use the theater, but the bar itself was wonderful. We drank there a while, and then drove over to a unique waterfall in Beacon, which is lit blue at night. I got some great pictures of that. In fact, I took a picture of someone taking a picture, and then someone was taking a picture of me – so Level Three in pictures! Next, we drove by a prison, which was pretty interesting to see, and finally, it was back home.

    I had intended to sleep at a better hour, but ended up chatting with Dan until quite late. It was good conversation.
