We awoke to a cool morning on the shores
of the Boardwalk area of Walt Disney World. We took a boat across the
lake to the Boardwalk Bakery. From there we went into
EPCOT. We went
straight to The Land and went through Soarin' -- twice! We then
spent time in the Living Seas where Lyd communed with the manatees. We
walked out to World Showcase and enjoyed the 360 movie in Canada. The
wait at LeCellier was too long, so we walked to England and had a light
lunch at the Rose and Crown. From there, we went back to the room to
rest. Around 1630, we left the room headed for the California Grill. We
chatted with Kate on the way. We took the boat from Yacht to MGM and
then caught a bus to the Contemporary and the CG. Matti visited
with us as did Jenns, Takashi and Dennis. Matti is now a sous chef
and Takashi aspires to the same rank. Matti is engaged and will marry,
in Ohio, in October of 2008. Dennis has traveled and seen parts of the
county. |

Lyd had a bran
muffin and coffee |

Grey tea. |

Soarin' is in The Land
pavilion. It is a simulation of a hang-glider ride through parts
of California. Although the "ride" doesn't actually "move"
it is a pleasant assault on your senses. You wear a seatbelt so
you won't fall out of your chair! |

Our travels
from Yacht to the California Grill allowed Lyd the only
opportunity that interests her to be "on top" of MGM's Tower
of Terror. |

| Any visitor to this site knows
that the California Grill (Jens Dahlman, Chef de Cuisine) is our
favorite restaurant at Walt Disney World. The number of times we
have been here is simple testimony. |
| As always, we started
with drinks. Dennis is our favorite mixologist in
the Disney cast and, as always, he makes great drinks:
Manhattan (7) for me and vodka martini (7)
for Lyd. |
