The couples split up when David and I went for a walk and
Patti and Javier did their own thing. The birds weren’t as talkative, but the
path was shaded and stunning as we explored the property. We found the pool and
beach and then David went to stretching class with Javier before our brunch.
What an amazing spread! Most of the food was native Mexican
so I had fried plantains, chilli quilles, a cactus dish called Nopales, quesadillas made to order and the hottest
salsa I’ve ever had. We got a table right near the door with the most delicious
ocean breeze and the ocean right behind us.
We planned out our afternoon carefully to include swimming,
napping, and drinking. I broke the rules and included some reading and blogging
(until the battery died.) I booked time for a pedicure and took great pains to
enjoy every moment of it.
When I got back to the room David and Patti were hard at
work making dinner while Javier prepared the drinks with the cactus fruit.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t help because it would mess up my nails so I had to
watch.
The dinner was terrific – chard cooked in olive oil, onions
and garlic pasta with tomatoes…mmmmm.
Back out for ice cream, dancing and bad jazz.
