So this afternoon, when Becky went off to work, I went for a run in the park next to her apartment. Cool thing – there are also these workout machines that use your weight (instead of adjustable weights) inside the park as well! So after you run on the track...

So, last night, we all went for a walk on the beach.. we walked for a good two hours (by accident) and afterwards, when Caitlin and Calvin walked back to the hotel, I decided to stay and just hang out on the sand like the true Cape Cod beach bum that I am. The tide...
