Day 8 --3/4

Yesterday I had my days all mixed up. For some reason, it was Sunday to me all day. While I was fixing supper, I asked Dale three times if he could find 60 Minutes; each time he patiently told me it was Saturday. On the 4th time, he said “ok....I’ll see if I can find it”....we both laughed...I’m only hoping its not a sign of stuff to come in the (at least near) future!

While the sunrise was gorgeous, you could feel/see a haze of some type....after a couple hours, it got pretty ugly. It reminds me of when the kids were here in 2008. It is nippy and VERY windy..there are whitecaps and well, its just plain ucky We just took a walk & they are still setting up for the Welcome Party, but I sure wouldn’t want to grill in this! Optimistic, I guess??   

Later—it is really ugly out....big piles of the seaweed up on the beach and even saw a big fish thrown on the beach with it. Again, reminds me of 2008. I hadn’t seen that type of weather here before and haven’t since....until now.

They did grill and have the welcome party....not as well attended as usual, but whatever.
Since it was not great beach weather, we made a quick trip to Walmart.
That’s about it for today....hoping the weather shapes up, but looks like the forecast is for cooler & windy for most of the week )-:

I’m working on uploading videos to the blog. Finally figured out how, but thus far, it has taken over an hour to upload a 70 second video....hmmmm..

Sunday 3/4 pics

3-3 pics

Day 7- 3/3

Well, today was moving day (-:
Even though it is right next door, it becomes a hassle. So I solved that!...I decided to go do laundry while they were moving. Well-----1) the laundry was really crowded and 2) they were late moving us, so.....well, whatever, we made it next door! This actually is a nicer villa, so I don't know why I'm so attached to 912....weird!!

 A hot and humid day here.....only 81 degree, but 70% humidity...which seems unusual.
Dale went out snorkeling for a bit. Didn't see too much....did find one medium size stingray, but of course, it was in the seaweed, and took off.....so no picture. Other than that, it was lying on the beach and reading.

Day 6- 3/2

Today started with a beautiful sunrise walk. Water aerobics followed and then vegging out at the beach until a awesome rainstorm hit!! Such large drops and they only last maybe 15 minutes and then everyone is back on the beach.

Tomorrow we move next door. Someone is chomping at the bit to get into 912 (told us down on the beach and actually acted a bit po'ed that we were in "their" villa. Geezz....don't think so). But regardless, they have it for next week and we move to 913.  Can't believe we've been here a week already! It always goes so fast.

This first picture is of Dolce Mente Pompei, an Italian restaurant  we like to go to. In fact, we went tonight. However, this bare room is transposed with tables, chair, formal table clothes, candlelight and the whole bit. About 5:00, it turns into a booming business. We had someone take pictures of us there, but they didn't turn out. So instead, you can see the tiny lizard that welcomed and had supper with us, and the big Roman!!!

Pictures of 3/1

I cannot figure out why I can't label by the pictures....but frustrated working from a laptop, so will put them all here.
The first ones are of lunch. We were serenaded.....it was so funny, I almost laughed. Dale tipped them an appropriate amount and they looked at it and said "we need more"......

I got treated to a banana shake...actually more like banana milk, but it was good. When I saw the pic, I wondered where Dale had found that old lady.....holy crap....time for some botox, I think!

Then I took video of Dale feeding the gulls.....was so hoping to see the actual video, but they are not uploading as such...not sure why, they are supposed to. (same with the pirate ship)

The rest are of the beautiful gardens here at Royal Cancun. They are so gorgeous and kept up so well .

Day 5- 3/1

Slept in today. Was up a couple hours in the night & then again at 3:30....usually I would stay awake, but I said...”I don’t think so”.....so slept until 6:30----it was even light when I got up....hate that.

Skipped water aerobics and went to Market 28.....had lunch there and then as we left, Dale got us lost....so put in a couple miles extra.... but need the exercise, sooo.....
Stopped at Walmart to pick up a couple of things and then waited for the bus.

Came back and read on the beach for awhile and walked down to feed the gulls....got a couple of videos (including the pirate ship), but they don’t seem to be uploading to the blog....not sure why.

Now you see how very EXCITING our vacations are!! Not....but the way we like it!
Can’t believe tomorrow is Friday and we’ve been here nearly a week.,.its goes way too fast.
