The Monorail Pulling Into EPCOT

Pittsburgh wins! Yes, that means I don't have to wash the RV. Guess who lost?

It was another lovely day in Disney, but alas poor Mel was sick last night. We think a touch of food poisoning. Thus, we threw out everything in the refrigerator. For a change, it was Mel who slept in this morning, highly unusual. Once he got started, we went to the grocery store to replenish our stock. We both agree that it was something he ate, but not from the frig, because we ate the same thing for supper and I didn't get sick. However, earlier in the day, we ate at a restaurant, but had separate entrees.

When we knew that Mel was out of harms way, we decided to go to EPCOT so we could finish seeing the World Showcase of countries. We started at Spaceship Earth, the round globe featured in the photo. Click on the picture to enlarge it so you get a good view of the globe and the monorail. Spaceship Earth is my favorite ride, though Soarin' is coming in a close second.

After the ride, we headed to Canada, then spent the rest of the day circling through the countries. We toured England, split a chocolate eclair at France, visited the marketplaces of Morocco, looked at pearls at Mikimoto's in Japan, heard the Liberty acapella singers at America, saw street performers at Italy, ate bratwurst at Germany, viewed a travelogue about China, rode the Maelstrom at Norway, skipped Mexico because we dined there Wednesday evening and bought a Disney World shirt and Mickey Mouse cosmetics bag at Mouse Gears.

Upon leaving EPCOT, we rode the monorail to the Transportation Center and then back to EPCOT. We reached the RV in time to see the half time show with the Rolling Stones-they rock!-and the end of the game.
