Breakfast bright and early
Still not sure why I'm awake so darn early in the morning during vacation. Seems like breakfast at the Marina Grill becomes less and less appealing, every morning. The good thing was that our waitress, Fanny, was great. Once again we received excellent service. I practiced a bit of my Spanish and Fanny misunderstood and thought I actually spoke Spanish. I quickly backpedaled with no hablo espagnol!!
Today was my rest day. No exercise. I spent about 3 hours in the hot sweltering sun by the pool. I think I burned today. I'm definitely pink and my skin is tender. Brian turned browner (is that a word?). I skipped lunch and went to the spa, just as the sky turned grey and the water started to pour out of the dark clouds. People scattered like ants away from the pool. Pussies.
Spa interlude
Today was the first day I met another person in the spa. Generally I have it all to myself with a couple of attendants watching over me. There were several of us there, but I only ended up conversing with Lynne from Newfoundland. She was surprised that an American even had a clue as to where it was located and that it was part of Canada. Yay me for representing the States positively. We went through the entire spa cycle leisurely. Her poor husband, Ted, ended up waiting a while at the Hydrotherapy pool.
Afternoon
To prevent myself from taking a nap, we went to another pool for the afternoon. Brian spied 2 little black ducklings that were so small and cute. I have to get pictures of them tomorrow. We will try to visit the other pools we haven't been to tomorrow. I will be working out tomorrow. I hope to swim more than 1/2 a mile. First we'll catch some rays while the sun is out.
Dinner
We ate at the Prime Grill tonight. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. The portion sizes were too large. A no-no from Chef Ramsey. The lamb was delicious. I don't know what type of sauce they used, it was tasty. Brian ordered the filet mignon. It was called Beef Shank or Beef Steak on the menu. He said his was delicious too. He liked the Texan Chili for soup. I enjoyed my Corn Cream. Ted and Lynne showed up at the restaurant so I was able to introduce them to Brian. The Canadians from British Columbia we met from the night before also showed up. We were thinking of heading to the Sun bar for more Caipirina. I was too tired. Brian ended up falling asleep before 8 PM. Sunbathing is just too exhausting for him.
