Day 6 – June 24
I woke up without need for the alarm, glancing at the clock it showed 5:14am in bright red numbers. I yawned and stretched my arms, then lifted myself from the bed. I felt great this morning. Today seemed like a perfect day for a swim and because there wasn’t anything planned, I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my waist. Comfortable, almost like I owned the place, I walked downstairs passing the receptionist who gave me a friendly nod and made my way to the pool. I dropped the towel, exposing myself completely and began to skinny dip. The water was warm and took no time at all for my body to acclimate. I began swimming laps. I had so much fun over the last week, but I became progressively homesick, to the point of being excited for my life to return to normal. Well, after this weekend, it will never be truly normal as this experience has changed me, hopefully for the best.
