Friday, March 28: Newbery Yoga. Springs.

Mary and I woke up at the hotel around 7:30 AM grabbed a quick breakfast and headed down to Newberry yoga. Kaitlyn taught us to class today. She was 

we were the only students that showed up so we had a private lesson which was really very good.She gave 
us some

 attention and helped us out with some of our poses and it was very nice that way. Afterwards, both Mary and I use that awesome shower that they have at the studio. I mean 

that shower is roomy and luxurious and nice water pressure. We then hung out with Shannon who he’s going to give us a nice time massage tomorrow. We just chilled out and then we decided

 to go to the Publix to get our own drinks so we’re not like drinking all their water at the studio so we got plenty of drinks to keep us going. with the springs are this is where we went after we 

went shopping at Publix and grabbed a coffee at a restaurant called capybara and Australian themed coffee place in the middle of a sterile office park. There was pretty funny. I mean, it was really funny. I had a 
lunch pie. They sold these little pies full of different types of food.  After we did that and left there, we 
decided to go to the mineral Springs 

that Kaitlyn recommended us. We went to the Ruth B Kirby Gilchrist State Park The water was a beautiful greenish blue hue and felt really good. We both really

 enjoyed it. We just mellowed out. Did some yoga poses and met some nice people there. Unfortunately, Kaitlyn wasn’t able to visit but she was pleased 

that we did visit. After we went to the mineral Springs, we visited a little town called high Springs. They had some little shops and 


we parked the car and we walked around and got some pictures of very interesting architecture. It was a nice little straw. We then went to Bealls discount store 

nearby after Mary did a Google search and she got some sandals 

for very cheap but they look very nice. They’re a blue color. Kaitlyn then

 recommended two places in Gainesvilleand we decided to go to the Thai place

called chopsticks. Oh my God, the food was absolutely to die for

 and we ordered soup and then we had our main courses. I had Penang curry

 with tofu and Mary had lemongrass and tofu. Afterwards, 

we drove down to this area that Kaitlyn had recommended in Gainesville. This place is called Depot Park. 

So we drove about eight minutes from the restaurant to check it out. 

We were very close to the University of Florida. We drove around and 

walked a tiny bit, but then we decided we’d head out so we wouldn’t be dark by the time we drove back. Well, we got back and we decided that we need to go to bed early. I got a nice massage for Mary and then fell right to sleep. It had to be around 8:30 or 8:45 PM when we both fell asleep. Both of us really needed it. It was a very eventful day. 

Thursday, March 27: Alachua. Newberry Yoga.

Today we woke up at the Hilton pretty well rested. We decided after asking if there are any breakfast places they listed two waffle 

houses and this other place that we went to that was really wonderful. breakfast place called Terry’s Grill in North Jacksonville. It was only 10 minutes from the hotel. It was a good southern place. They had excellent 

breakfast food. They had grits too and all kinds of different eggs and home fries and hashbrowns, etc. I had a big stack of pancakes, big water, sausage, and a side order egg and it was totally delicious and

 the coffee was pretty good too when we left the place ran to a really nice woman who owned hair salon while she wasn’t the owner but an employee at his hair salon and we talk to her for about half hour yakking it up 

and talking about what Jacksonville looks like etc. and we even talked about the Eagles and the Jaguars. It was very nice. It’s one of my highlights is talking to local people. It’s really 

fun. We then drove for an hour and a half and we just arrived at the Alachua Hampton Inn at 3 o’clock. Now we’re looking for laundromats because this hotel

 does not provide laundry. Laundromat nearby and that was good. This place has an app and looks like it might be a good choice. Then we went to Newberry yoga early and got the lay of the land from

 Kaitlyn and her husband. They give us a grand tour of the facilities. Their house is beautiful and they built it from scratch just like they built the studio from
scratch. They have a whole bunch of land and they did a nice job with it all. The studio has a really nice shower. I mean it’s a luxurious shower. 


They were put time and money in that one. We then went to class with with Shannon and there was three of us, Mary and I another dude where that dude made all these breathing noises and 

that would not fly at HYP for sure but I didn’t want to be non-organic and 

yogurt and make faces at the teacher so I didn’t. But it would not 

fly in any of the teachers at Hot Yoga Philly if she start making all these breathing

 noises and shit. But the class was good. The room was hot as fuck. Anyhow

, afterwards we talked to Kaitlyn and then we headed to a Mexican restaurant

 which happened to be close by and open till 10 o’clock. We almost 

missed dinner. But it was a nice time today. We’re back again for an 830 class tomorrow

 morning so we have to get up very very early. We hope to hit the 
Tq
minerals stream and then hit the laundromat along with the Florida’s favorite supermarket, which I’ve totally forgot the name of.
