home to the real world

We got back from Orlando on Sunday. It was good. But the whole place is a big fraud. Everything is manufactured. Our hotel was supposed to look like a real Italian harbour village, Portofino. It did, from far away, but you knew it was fake. I mean, I doubt if there are any Italians in the real Portofino powerwashing the cobblestone streets.
But the weather was nice and warm and felt even warmer when Geoff checked his voicemail to hear that there was 6 inches of snow at the plant and the power was out and the plant was down all weekend.
We went to Universal Studios (fake stuff again, like fake New York and San Francisco, did you know they were just down the street from each other?). We also went to Epcot at Disneyworld. We had to watch what rides we went on because Geoff gets carsick and I had a sore neck. So I would try the ride and if I thought he would be OK we go together. It was fun, though. We ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, the whole restaurant had a Forrest Gump theme and very good food.
