Slept okay last night - it got a bit noisy about midnight and the bed was harder than we are used to, but all in all, not bad. Got up this morning and went for a walk. We managed to find a Publix grocery store not too far from where we are. We walked for about an hour - chilly, but not cold - and then came back to the room to shower. We went in to breakfast at a good time. A bus load of kids from Orlando were just leaving. They had been here for a ROTC competition and were taking home 5 trophies - I guess that was what all the shouting was for last night. Breakfast was quite extensive - lots of choices: eggs, sausage, biscuits, bagels, toast, cereal, fruit. When we were done we went back to the Publix (by car) and shopped for lunch items to take with us to work. We relaxed for a while and then using the GPS tried to find our route to start work tomorrow. We now know what the major glitch is with a GPS. It took us directly to the Archaeological Center, but right through downtown Tallahassee! This would probably not be where we want to be on a week day. It was all the more interesting because there were hundreds of people running a marathon through the city! We managed to eke our way back to the motel where we studied a map and started back to find the Center again. This route was longer, I'm sure, but did not go through the city center and hopefully will not be as heavily traveled tomorrow. We got back and made lunches, read and did some hobby work: Dave is carving a spoon and I am doing some embroidery. We will go out to eat in a while - we may walk up to the Macaroni Grill - it is not too far away. All of the walking has felt good. I'm not sure what the temp was today, but probably it was in the mid 60's. We are anxious to start work tomorrow and to see what kinds of things we will be doing.
