Florida, February 22, 2012

Today is Ash Wednesday, and Washington's Birthday (though not when it's celebrated). LCMS School Ministries chose to begin the ECC conference today. Not sure the reasoning. But it caused us to move from the Hilton resort to the Buena Vista Plaza Hotel & Spa across the street from Downtown Disney. We are on the 19th floor with a good view.

We had a late breakfast in the hotel restaurant which served as lunch also. Then Karen began her meetings in the early afternoon. Dick wandered the grounds and worked in the room.

There was a reception in somebody's room before dinner (hosted by LCEF), with good conversation. When we all were ready to head to the restaurant for dinner, a very heavy thunderstorm hit the area. Locals were happy to see the rain, since it has been very dry here. But it delayed our return to the main hotel building for dinner till it let up a little. Dinner was quite good and elegantly served.

After dinner we returned to our room in time to watch the Epcot fireworks from our little balcony. It's nice to have a room that overlooks some Disney stuff.
