Today we got up and went for a highly recommended walk around the lagoon. We didn't see much in the way of "pretty fish" (nor the crocodiles they warn against), but we didn't just sit with our Starbucks, as recommended. Since the wind was broken by resorts, it was hot! We walked all the way down to Dolphin Discovery and crossed the street at the mini-flea market. Both of us were having trouble with our feet and/or ankle....sigh....getting old is a bitch.
Then we came back to the resort and had a little lunch. Sat on the deck the rest of the afternoon. We began packing things up....wish we had a scale.
We said good-bye to Shelly and much to our distress, she said today was her last day of employment....she had accepted another position elsewhere.....that is sad, very sad. We already had lost Gabriela......
Reflections:
Its been an interesting year. While for the most part, it is always awesome to be here, it seems I have spent a great deal of it under a blanket!....next year I pack a windbreaker!....Dale says its been less than half of the time, but Fri-Sunday was COLD, WINDY and really ugly.....then yesterday and today was really windy. ..which made it much colder than it really was.....feeling the wind off the bay.
It just seemed like things were missing from this trip, but I couldn't tell you what. I'm sure the weather had a lot to do with it. And having done most activities in the past (e.g. swimming with dolphins), we didn't do much. Our annual adventure was Chichen Itza and that wasn't one of our better days. Just today, I was thinking we should do a glass bottom boat....we've done it before, but its been many years and in the presence of a kazillion drunk spring breakers. Sigh.....
On a 1-10, I'd give it a 6/7. Not one of the better trips, but not as bad as Puerto Moreles or Puerto Vallarta!!.
Now tomorrow is another one of those gawd awful travel days and I see a storm heading to Aberdeen?!?! Again...sigh....time to go to bed.
