Ahh, breakfast. How I have missed you. We all met in the cafeteria this morning. I got a huge glass of orange juice and made myself a waffle. Oh yeah, I said waffle.

| Yes, the waffles here are Texas shaped. Texans have a tremendous amount of state pride. |
Downtown Nacogdoches travel today. Some crazy street crossings, including dedicated right turn lanes. The right turners are dangerous. This particular intersection has no right turn on red signs, but they are ignored all the time making a street crossing less safe for a blind person.
Went to the lake again with the campers. They went swimming, tubing and knee boarding. We tie-dyed shirts and had hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch. We were constantly reapplying sun screen to the kids (there are several albino students) every few hours.
After the lake we followed the campers to the roller rink. I had flashbacks to elementary school when we would all go roller skating. "All skate... all skate" "boys skate..." etc. Beth talked me into going out there with everyone. I was having a great time watching all of the blind and visually impaired students have fun on the rink. A few of the students with blindness were using their canes while they were skating. Some others were being guided around the rink following someone. Everyone was having a great time skating and dancing to the music. Below are some pictures. I have noted my fellow O&M classmates that forced me to get out there and skate tonight.

Great day. I am exhausted.
