Beautiful day in Orlando, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Good Morning! Taken around 8:00 am today while passing through CityWalk on my way to classes at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort. Weather coolish and breezy. Glad the humidity broke because that might mean running outside later this afternoon.
Idols in the shrubbery at Loews Royal Pacific, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Just wandering the resort between conference sessions. I found myself near the site of the luau, where stone idols are nestled in the foliage here and there. Yes, I have been to the luau – yes it is fabulous! Great food and fine entertainment, plus the company of good friends all conspired to make it a pleasantly memorable evening *shout out...
How I solved the parking problem Loews Royal Pacific, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. I am attending a techie conference at Loews Royal Pacific but staying off-site. The first day, I had to practically sever a limb to liberate my car from the Royal Pacific parking lot.

Love in the bamboo grove, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. A stand of bamboo bears the scars of passions past. I wonder how many relationships memorialized this way actually go the distance?
Chilin’ on CityWalk, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. After my run through the Royal Pacific, the skies turned threatening.

Felt good to cool off – had it been overcast, I would not have enjoyed that run in the humidity at all! Glad to have had the opportunity to...
Waiting on the water taxi, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Done with business for the day. Now I am waiting for the water taxi out back of the Pacifica Ballroom convention center at Loews Royal Pacific in Orlando. I plan to go back to the car and get my running clothes, then use the resort running routes to get in some mileage and burn off some of this conference food!
Orchids in bloom, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Really just messing around with macros and light while it’s quasi-overcast outside. These orchids have been stuck all over the trunks of the palm trees here in the courtyard. I like sitting here, listening to the fountains.
Bath time for the Royal Pacific pachyderms, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. There are lots of rocks serving as mulch in the center courtyard of the Loews Royal Pacific resort. We are asked to refrain from pitching them into the fountain, lest our friends become frightened
Invaders From Planet Putt at Universal CityWalk, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. It’s been fun watching the progress of this place as it has been built. I think it came out good and it looks like a lot of fun.
