Sushi making class

It seemed incongruous to be taking a sushi making class at the Cooking Sun studio, but we went nonetheless. I have a newfound respect for the effort that goes into preparing a sushi meal. Shelby wonders what kind of first aid kit they have in case of big knife accidents, and Eli just loved making and then eating his sushi. This became the highlight of our Saturday since the excitement of the week finally caught up with us - especially me. After several days of waking up between 4-5AM and moving nonstop, we slept until about 6:30 and did a few hours of work. Ate breakfast at about 10 and then relaxed (and did a bit of work) in the hotel room until we walked to the sushi class in the early afternoon. The heat is stifling and saps your energy, while the pure sensory overload is exhilarating, but also draining. It's nice to spend a bit of time in the room. After the cooking class, I took a nap that almost turned into a mistake. It was really hard to wake up after about two hours and I wanted nothing more than to stay asleep. But going to bed at 4PM probably wouldn't have been the best idea for trying to get over jet lag.
