Waking up, I think the thing I appreciated most about taking this zero day is that I did not set my alarm for the first time in a long time, which meant I woke up several hours later than I normally did. I got to eat a big breakfast with the family, and then I lazed around all day. It is actually hard for me to remember what I did, but I know it definitely involved some surfing the internet, some guitar hero, and a few games. And a lot of eating. I definitely remember Ledo’s pizza, which makes any day better.
But the real purpose of the zero day was the Chelsea – A.C. Milan soccer match in downtown Baltimore. We left early to try to beat some traffic, and we got there a little before gametime. This was my first ride in an automobile since San Francisco, and the first time seeing my city since Winter Break. It felt good to be in Baltimore.

The match was actually very entertaining, and was competitive throughout. And it was nice seeing more of the family. Chelsea ended up winning by a goal, and everyone went home happy. We didn’t end up getting home until after midnight, which made it probably the latest night I had since San Francisco as well. But this rest day was amazing thanks to seeing friendly faces and doing no work. I was a little nervous and excited simultaneously about my trip ending tomorrow though.
