Day 4 - August 31st

Breakfast
Breakfast as usual at the buffet. I got up enough nerve to taste the juice with cactus and celery. I don't know how anyone could drink a whole glass, but it was fine to sample.

Main Pool
I finished my book and Mandy did her word search.

Beach
Mandy and I wanted to sail today, but due to the storm yesterday, there were too many waves and currents.

When we got to the beach, we discovered why they told us that. Apparently, the storm washed up so many rocks and shells and they were all over the beach. We collected a whole bunch of really neat ones. I couldn't believe the piles of conch shells everywhere. It was really too rocky to walk now.

Main Pool
Then, I drove up to the pool bar on my raft & got a Miami Vice. I never even got off my raft.

Mandy was lounging on a chair in the pool, and I went to walk the beach again.

I ran into the couple from LA and we talked a bit. Then, I collected more shells & ran into a couple from Toronto who has been at the Valentin 3 times already.

When I returned, Mandy was ready for lunch. Usually, I'm the one prompting her. LOL

Lunch
The buffet was our lunch option again. Muy bueno!

Blogging
Now, we are here blogging in the lobby with a gecko hanging over our heads on the curtains. Mandy thinks he's sleeping. At least the lobby is air conditioned.

Mandy is having Webkinz withdrawals. She likes to do stuff on their Web site, but hasn't been able to during our trip.

Back to the Pool
We couldn't wait to get back to the pool. It's how every day life should be! We could definitely get used to that.

Dinner
I can't even fit into my clothes, but Mandy and I said we were going to go to 3 different restaurants!

We started out at the French for our main course. The French was a little foo foo for us, but our entree's were good. Mandy had the Salmon and I had the Chateaubriand. The restaurant is very beautiful.

Dessert
Mandy wanted Chicken & Beef Satays again for an appetizer and I wanted to try the Fried Tempura Ice Cream for Dessert, so we went to the Japanese next. The watier was quite surprised that we only ordered the appetizer. It also was a little difficult communicating to him that I didn't want peanut sauce on it. I think we frustrated him a bit, but in the end, it turned out okay. I had green tea and we ordered the Ice Cream. It was like a giant, deep fried cream puff.

Italian
Just kidding....we could not fit in any more food. We really wanted some pasta, but our eyes are bigger than our stomachs (or, at least they were before we arrived).

Latin Show
Our final show was different styles of latin dancing. Naturally, they also show a lot of skin.

Packing
We went back to our room and packed. I wrapped all of my shells in toilet paper so that I could smuggle them back home. I stuffed them everywhere.

We also ordered room service for the next morning.
