...but I had a tour of the rooms and they were great. I would love to stay in the Poe room. I’ve eaten there, too. The food’s pretty good.

If I ever have the money, I’m gonna rent a room for a week, enjoy the lack of diversions, and just write, write, write.

...but only if you have a season pass for all of Mariner Square, including the Wax Works and the Undersea Gardens. The single visit price for each of these is not worth what you get to see inside.

Wait! I do live there. It’s peaceful enough, but there’s not much to do. It gets really boring really quickly.

It’s actually the only time so far. My wife and I vacationed in Vancouver and Victoria for a week. We made a quick trip to Wreck Beach just so I could say that I’ve been to a nude beach. My wife didn’t want to join me, so I went by myself. It was the middle of March—cold and cloudy, so I and the other two people who were there all kept our clothes on, of course. I just stood there for a while, watching the water.

It was well worth it both for the fact that I can say I’ve been to a nude beach and for the exhilarating hike down the shoddy stairs and back up.

I’d love to go back in the summertime. I think actually being able to lounge in the sun with nothing on would be relaxing and liberating.
