Sunday in Paradise

We continue to wake late and enjoy the luxury of sleeping in. We began our day with coffee and the pastries purchased in town. Then put on our swim suits and took our books down to the pool.

It was warm but not quite as humid and we enjoyed the cervazas and micheladas (beer and ice with lime and the glass rimmed with salt) at the swim up bar or by our lounge chairs. I finished off The Chosen and began another book while Carolyn sketched and watercolored various scenes looking out on the bay. We met some Canadians including a relocated Scot and shared tales of our experiences at other Clubs while we kept wet by dipping in the pool. A great long day of just relaxing.

Bill and Louise ended up at the pool near the end of the afternoon and we were invited to share in appetizers and beverages at their room. We brought fresh chips and salsa we had purchased while they provided beer and wine that a departing couple had left them. Then off down the beach to enjoy another dinner. The girls had coconut shrimp (they were huge!) in mango sauce while I had chile rellano. We then took a cab into town to check out the Sunday evening happenings.

A Mexican clown was holding court near the beach, but his jokes were untranslatable by us and we soon headed down to check out various markets. It was after nine, and many of the shops were closed or closing, but Carolyn found a few in which to wander. Then back to the club where we got Carlos to show us the three bedroom suite that sits high atop the complex with wonderful panoramic views of the bay and city. It would be a great place for three couples to share if you don't mind a rigorous hike!

Unfortunately, either the mango sauce or something didn't sit well with Carolyn and around midnight she lost her dinner. Not a pleasant way to keep the weight down. But thankfully, this morning she awoke feeling much better.
