Cooler again today! Still warm and muggy but more of a breeze as well. No classes today so it was a long day. Ordered a pair of reading glasses. Expensive since insurance doesn't cover them and the other pair I ordered. But have to be able to read and this second pair will be just for that activity.

Watched a German film tonight--North Face. It is a fictionalized version of some real climbing events that took place around the late 30s. The story followed two men who made an attempt to climb the north face of the Eiger, a sheer rock and ice face of a Swiss peak. I discovered, somewhat to my chagrin, that most of the film was done with CGI. They did a good job of it, but it made the realism of the film less powerful once I as shown the tricks that were used. Tense film though (very much like the one done in South America--Touching the Void) with lots of cliff-hanging (pun intended) action.

Movement class tomorrow--a welcome treat!
