Ready for the Half Marathon. This picture is about 1900 hrs, just before it got dark.

This is the line of runners to get on the bus for transportation to the start area.

Wheel chair racers.

The Epcot Dome taken about midnight while I waited for "my" runner. To see any of the race required a $35 ticket to get into Epcot after 2200 hrs so I waited either in the car or out front of Epcot from when she got on the bus until she finished the race.

Finished and with medal at about 0100 hrs, ready to go home.

Some of the room art in our room.

More room art.

A Dora statue on the way to the Mall area.

The countdown begins, the big bucket is ready to dump Nick green slime.

A reaction to one of the groomsman checking to see if his flower was firmly in place.

A Mohican and a tuxedo, but he is Irish.

I can't tell whether he is planning his own wedding or thinking about being goalie on the soccer field.
