WELCOME TO DOWNTOWN LUFKIN!
So I had my first lesson on downtown streets. Crossed streets using my traffic pattern skills, and lived to tell the tale. We will be doing this for a few days and then I will have my 'drop off' lesson. My instructor will blindfold me, take me to an area that I should be able to recognize using my landmarks, and I have to make it to a predetermined location. In this case it is a little business called Maricela's Day Spa. I have to do this unassisted. I will be followed by my instructor, but he will not be able to help me. He will be there just to make sure I do not do any mortal harm to myself or others.
I am dead tired. Spent the evening with the campers at the bowling alley. Everyone had a good time, and are now all going to bed. Luckily all of us in the O&M program got to go to OUR dorm, while the campers and their counselors and caseworkers went to THEIR dorm. Being a volunteer has its perks!
