Homework!




Well nobody handed any in so I guess I will have to tell you the story.
The ducks live in a "palace" near the tennis courts on the "recreation level" of the hotel but spend every day from 11am to 5pm in the lobby fountain.
They come down to the lobby in the elevator and march to the fountain on the red carpet, which is laid daily for them) (or is it layed?) up the steps and plop plop plop they go (in more ways than one! or three!)
A fanfare is played and the event always draws a crowd.
In the evening the ritual is reversed and they go to bed in the Duck Palace.
Hoping again for a Shuttle launch tonight!

Only in America....... Is it a bit like 'the changing of the Mallard' at Buckingham Palace?

Large mystery gift arrived yesterday with my name on it- I am not going to open it until Christmas though. (Wraped in pea green paper- I may move it into the hall between the hours of 11:00 and 17:00 but cannot manage red carpet.)

Thanks,

Ben
 
The shuttle launch is supposed to be spectacular, one of my friends here saw one and said you can hear it from a very long way away.
Good luck seeing it.

What is the fuss about some very ordinary looking ducks?
Hope you got to see the launch. The swimming pool looks great.
