Well folks, it's the first Monday of the last week of the shooting schedule. It's sunny and very hot. Perfect weather for a day at the beach. I have heard it said that Adi Stein and Mike Weinberg played in the water all day and loved every minute of it. A lot of the footage from this day can be enjoyed in the decathlon sequence of the final cut (but not in the show). As you may have guessed, the beach scenes were filmed over a span of two days.
