So there's a wonderful thing at pottruck gym. On sunday morning they have 2 hours in the pool that are for separate sex swimming. 10-11 is guys and 11-12 is girls.

This morning was my first time going. I haven't been swimming [like actual swimming in a bathingsuit] since April vacation '04 when a group of us Penn students had our spring break in Israel. Since then, I started keeping the laws of tzniut, and I no longer swim in front of guys. Which doesn't leave so many opportunities for swimming open.

I don't like pools as much as I like outdoor bodies of water, but it was just so refreshing. And I didn't realize how good exercise it was. Too bad I can only go once a week!

here are the dave & beth pictures

And I'll post the blanket eventually. It's here. I'm doing the border now.

in this one you can see me in my pretty outfit. I'm the one in the white, to the left of the girl in the purple, with the knitting bag.
