Sanya

March 31st
Sanya China

Well, today didn’t work out quite as planned. I was hoping to get on a tour today, and after getting the call the previous night confirming the tour that was to take me to all these Buddhist temples, I had to turn it down for a lame rehearsal on a show I’ve played multiple times now. So I was really bummed about that seeing as I’d have really liked that learning experience, and especially considering that my day was foiled by a less than spectacular string duo. After the 11:00 rehearsal, I did manage to get off the ship for a moment, and had just enough time to go running. The ship is docked on what I believe is a man made island specifically for cruise ships, and its racetrack shape along with almost nonexistent traffic made it perfect for running. True, there was absolutely nothing on the island other than the walkway that encompassed it, but I had some nice views of the city, bay, and distant islands. It was a nice way to spend my last (and only) hour that day in Sanya, though I don’t believe we’ll return.
The rest of the day was slightly busy, being split between the string duet show at 3:00, going to the gym and dinner, and the two farewell shows at 7:00 and 9:00. Tomorrow will be our last Hong Kong before we relocate to Shanghai. Supposedly we dock 2 hours outside the city, which means I might not have easy internet access like I did in Hong Kong, so it might be a while before I can make some more posts, but you know I’ll be doing my best to get them online. Anyways, that’s about it for tonight, hope all is well back where you are, and as always, thanks for reading!
