Hash 2009, Swimming Poo, and Two Weeks Until Summer

It has been a relatively uneventful couple of weeks.  Last week I saw my gym was missing the L from its swimming pool sign.  This was pretty funny so I took a picture and shared it as often as possible. 

I hashed on Saturday the 3rd and had a great time on trail as well as at dinner and the bar afterward. 

Faye came over on the 10th and I helped her practice for her visa interview.  She is pretty anxious about the whole thing. It doesn't help that she has to take two days off work fly to Beijing to wait in line for three hours for a 3 minute interview. 91% of tourist visas get approved but she was rejected for a student visa in the past and that has made her nervous.

I hope she can get the visa so she can join me in PA. We have a back-up plan to visit Thailand if she is denied. 

There are two weeks of school left. I am looking forward to travel but also have some anxiety about Murphey's Law scenarios. As much fun I will certainly be havinf I also will miss Faye for every minute we are apart. 

The 2009 hash started dry but ended up soaked.

Three other hashers and I went to this bar called Pluto. They had some neat signature cocktails.

I think this fruit below is called a Java Apple, Syzygium samarangense, they grow outside my gym. If it is not a Java Apple it is a close relative. I tasted them and they are lightly sweet with a mild astringency. I did my research before trying to be certain it was safe to eat. 

Swimming POO!
