Saturday in th Sun

We spent our Saturday lazily.  The day before, the day of our arrival, I approached our ocean bar with a Beginners mind, and way too much gusto for the complimentary rum concoctions, mudslides, rum punch, something else delicious, and of course, the ubiquitous Red Stripe.   Today I approached everything like an expert, not yielding to anything more of a treat than a Diet Pepsi.

We watched the planes arrive, saw a wedding underway, and this morning took our first Mobay run. My favorite thing this morning was a FaceTime call w Miles and Matt, and then with Kate, Jacob, and Ava.  We don’t miss the snow back home but we sure do miss them, not because we would necessarily see them today, but because we are so far away.

We are staying in a four star resort, at least that’s what they call it.  As we are starting to learn, everything has a “resort” in its name.   It’s a little bit tired but the pool is beautiful, the Caribbean Sea is beside us and is very clear, the drinks are plentiful...there are several bars and restaurants on property and we are having a lot of fun!  The locals are very easy-going, and we do not feel out of our element because tourism here is everything.
