Today was Laurie's birthday. So she was legitamately Queen for the Day. Brian and Laurie had breakfast delivered to their room. Lois and I ate at the buffet in the Toscana.
We headed to the Cascade Pool and scored a couple of beds...somedays not easy to do. I attemped a towel swan for her. It wasn't too bad for ad libbing.
We had arranged with Roberto, who is in charge of customer relations to decorate her room sometime during the day and then arrange a cake for dinner that night. Planning necessitated Brian and I spending a lot of time going to the bathroom to try to surprise Laurie, which isn't easy.
For lunch we went to the Las Olsas. It was Rock and Burger day. Avila was our waiter. The burgers were a little spicy for Lois and Laurie but Brian and I thought they were good. We both added more jalapeños.
We moved to the Lazy Rive pool for the afternoon. More drinks. We also wanted to play bingo again. Didn't win. Brian did the pineapple toss. That was the "fun game" of the day.
For dinner, again after a lot of time in the bathroom, we went to Agave, the Mexican restaurant for dinner. I wasn't quite sure which name Roberto had used for our table, so the surpise somewhat was diminished. They had the table decorated with rose petels and balloons. We started our with pico de gallo, guacamole and chips. The guacamole was really good. Our waiters were Elias and Miguel. We started with Margaritas. The passion fruit margarita was really good, and Elias kept bringing us mango margaritas, which Lois and Brian hogged.
Laure had the three-color enchiladas, Brian had the beef fajitas. They must have had a starter, because I had two: the squid and shrimp cerviche and the squide rings in garlic, both good. Lois thinks we shared those, but she must have been in an alcohol induced stupor, because she can't remember. I had the Rice a la Tumbada and because I couldn't decide, I also had the Grouper Veracruz. Too many choices. Lois had the arracharra.
We had birthday cake for dessert. The staff sang some version of Happy Birthday.
We ended the evening by attending the Star Show, which was dancing to popular musicians.
Drink of the Day: Caribbean Sunrise. Lemon juice, Pineapple juice, Melon Liquor and Tequila.
