Orlando, Part No. Two (Welsh!! PIRATES!!)
by Megan M. on September 1, 2005 (Blog) |
So far, so good! I scouted out the Convention Center and found lots of friendly people who helped me. Then I found myself something to eat in a cafeteria near the main lobby. I don’t think I’m going to go back there again. The food is cheaper, but it’s scary food. By which I mean, it scares me. (Maybe I’ll try something else. Vote the pizza down if you get the chance.) The urge to buy a carton of Ben & Jerry’s was overwhelming but I resisted. And I’m fed now, in any case.
I took a bunch more pictures, though I don’t expect I’ll upload them until later tonight. I believe that when Mom and Grandma get here we’ll go to dinner, which I sorely want and desperately need. No real nutrients in microwave cardboard pizza, maybe? But I’m not sure where to go. I’d really like to go to the Swan Hotel and the sushi restaurant there, but I don’t know how far it is from the Contemporary. I need to find a map; I bet they have them in the lobby. Maybe I’ll go look after I finish this post.
I found myself with a little bit of waiting to do and I decided to type ‘Welsh pirate’ into Google. Dude, Welsh pirates!! I figured I’d find a couple listings, that maybe there was ONE Welsh pirate I could read about. This article says that some people are of the opinion that almost half the pirates in the 17th century had some Welsh heritage. I have struck gold! Welsh pirates!! (And me with my pirate hat along!)
I actually can’t seem to stop obsessing over this, and I’m a little upset that Amazon doesn’t carry this book by T.D. Breverton. Maybe I will keep looking. It looks… so…. neat!!
In any case, that’s that. I’m going to go see if I can find a map that tells me how far the Swan Hotel is from here. Wish me luck!
