Title says it all really. Chilled out, swam, and got swamped with Carol and Micheal's relatives. Independence day celebrations tommorow so we are going to find out if we can put some photos up for that.

Tampa and a bed!
Hi all.
After the ordeal at the airport, we had missed the closing time for our hostel, so we decided to head straight to Tampa, and my Dad's cousin's house. This meant spending the night at the Greyhound bus station, waiting for a 7:55 bus. This was not quite the ordeal you might imagine as we met Tom, an Indian (from India) with whom we spent the small hours chatting.
We where relived obviously relived to get to Tampa, where Micheal (our host) came to pick us up. Whilst waiting for him we chatted to the various taxi drivers around the terminal and received a list of beers to avoid.
Having arrived at Carola and Micheal's house we had a shower, allowing us to shed our somewhat smelly traveling clothes and to feel somewhat sober. We then went to Carol's granddaughter's 10th birthday party and met some of the family. A somewhat overbearing experience as we had only napped for the previous 36 hours but still good fun. And finally we got to got sleep in our beds, and slept like logs.
