Around the World

Today I spent going around the world. First, at 7:45 am, Sam, Lynnette, and I (and eight other people) took the Segway tour. This involved an hour of orientation and practice, then an hour of Segwaying around the World Showcase. It was a lot of fun, and I managed to conquer the machine without major mishap. The best part was that there was even a helmet to fit my big head!

Once our tour was over, we rode a few rides, then headed back to World Showcase for lunch. There are approximately 27 kiosks from different countries with three foods to sample (for a price). We started with Chile, and each of us picked a country, bought the three samples from that country, then met for a sampling party. We managed to get through about half of the countries before giving up due to complete stuffing of our stomachs. But it was really good. We each had our favorites and not-so-favorites, but the best part was sitting together and sharing.

I guess that's the part I like best about our Disney trips - it's a time to have fun with those you love.

According to the guide, we had Shrimp with Cilantro Salsa, Spicy Beef Empanada,and Dulce de Leche - which we all enjoyed (maybe because it was our first stop!)
