Day Ten

Poor Peter. He has a severe tooth ache and has been trying to find a dentist in every small town we go through. He is ready to pull it himself. We are on the phone this am trying to find an office open on a Saturday, but it is proving difficult. A chemist gave him some medication but it is really not helping all that much.

After we finish breakfast at the hotel here, we are heading down to the beach to say goodbye, then up inland on the way back to the airport. Below are a few shots of the beach and our hotel in town.

Here is our room's view at the Airport Hilton. We have a nice room and a great view of the airport.
Bill and I are chilling tonight. We had salmon at the very contemporary Hilton restaurant and then walked over to the airport to shop for some gifts. We just talked to Peter's wife, he had an bad tooth and they had to pull it. He is now on pain medication and doing much better. What a trooper. he complained very little even though he was in tremendous pain.

We had an afternoon workout. Some treadmill and a few laps at the pool. We could only muster a few minutes in the steam room. Australians could only muster a few minutes with our shirts off. The music played on the speakers in the gym might be considered rated "R."

There is an old saying "A mind once stretched by new ideas can never return to its original dimensions." Well, I have been stretched on this trip. Traveling internationally has really shed new light of many old concepts and beliefs. I will not come back with a tan, I might have lost a few pounds, and I may have a new disdain to seeing Bill eat, but inside I have become a different person. That is always worth the trip.
