TAMPARTAY
I just made a trip to Tampa, making my second trip now to south Florida. I traveled again with nursing students as I did a year ago or so. It is so bizarre, yet not surprising how feral a group of the like can become. You wouldn't think so. Put us together on a night-free of studying in a campus town in a hotel far away from home and it is like a cattle release. Stampede. Only this time, I was too unwell to accompany them. My illness gave me ample insight as an observer rather than a participator. This peanut gallery was hitting clubs, bars, and drinking at all of them. Funny thing is, I was still up in my hotel room ill and feeling fair when I heard them come in. The sheer quantity of inebriated souls was staggering...even at seven a.m.
