day 60

today was super long for some reason. i swear i have no concept of time anymore. i don't know what day it is either. dah.

we left for the fields at 8, painted and set up goals, then we came back to the hotel and took naps. after that, laura and i went back to the fields to work out (event director hil-dawg didn't join us because her phone was broken hahaha - liar)
immediately when we got there it started pouring rain. ice cold, wet, uncomfortable rain. but we worked out anyway, and after a while it let up. we also got to kick a soccer ball around a bit and do some shooting - that felt so good!

after that we came back, showered, and then got picked up by mr. eric peyton!!!! it was so nice to see him!! we just wandered around vail village and lionshead (and we even drove to avon to see eric's TINY apartment! haha it's like smaller than my dorm room from last year) and we just hung out until his friend, mark, got there (mark was visiting vail this weekend too and he came from denver via greyhound). laura got tired at like 9 so we dropped her off on our way to pick up mark. we were starving at this point so we started walking around finding places to eat. that's the problem with vail. everything closes so early! and the places that were still open were 21 and over, so we had to search for a long time before we finally found a pizza place that wasn't carding so we could eat din din. (haha i've never wanted a fake i.d. until tonight. i was sooooo hungry!)

we ate and chatted for a while, then the boys walked me back to my hotel/lodge on their way back to eric's car. the road we were on was on the back side of the lodge, which is the direction that me and laura's first floor room faces. i saw a window that looked like ours - open window (no ac in the hotel and no window screens. scary? yes.), fan in the exact same position, curtains just how we had them, etc. - so eric and i climbed up this muddy hill thing and i was going to scare laura by climbing in through the window. i got to the window and looked in, only to realize that it wasn't my room!!!!! bahahahaha i'm SOOOO glad i checked before just climbing in! how awkward would that have been?! the room was all dark, so i couldn't really see anything except for the crack of light under the door to the hallway - but i knew the room wasn't mine because the door was on the wrong side of the wall. my room's layout was the reverse of that room. WHEW! i think i saved myself from a trip to the police station. haha

as soon as eric and i realized that the room wasn't mine, we ran down the hill (i actually slid down it, seeing as i was wearing toms and had no traction) and decided to just be normal and use the front doors. so now i'm back in my room, hoping that nobody makes the same mistake i did and just waltzes in through my window.....

i know vail isn't exactly full of crime, but would it really hurt to give the rooms window screens? like, i just think that would be logical. especially since we're on the ground floor. oh well. i guess it's convenient in case of a fire....?

tomorrow we finish setting stuff up and games start at noon! it'll probably be another long day!!
