Today was a beach day. Lois and I got up at the crack of dawn, but we missed the crack by about fifteen minutes. We were trying for sunrise. We then walked through the garden. It is really nice at 6:00 am. Low humidity and cool. That all changes by 7:00.
We then had the first of our two breakfasts. We clamed our chairs at the beach, read a little and then joined joined Brian and Laurie for breakfast at 10:00.
The ocean was really calm. Lois, Brian and I spend three hours in the surf. Laurie wasn't feeling well and went back to her room.
In the afternoon, Lois and I met at the bar to catch up on the blog. She gets boozed up and can't remember anything, so that probably wasn't a good plan. The internet was horrible all day, so we couldn't post anyway.
We ate lunch at Los Olas. It was rib day. They were excelente. Really tender with a good sauce. I also had french fries topped with spicy beans and cheese sauce. I pigged out a little. Playing in the surf makes you hungrey. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach. It was breezy, but good for napping.
Laurie and Brian stayed in their room. Lois and I hit the manager's cocktail hour.
We ate at the Lobster House. There was a line. It is the first restaurant that we had to wait. There were 13 couples ahead of us...so we went back to the bar. When we finally got seated, the place had pretty much emptied out. We had gone to dinner early, like 7:30 and the place was crammed. By 8:15 there were plenty of tables. Leonnel was our waiter. Food good, service not. I had the octopus on toast, which was a toastado. Lois had the seafood cake. I really liked mine. We both had the grilled lobster. We had to ask for napkins and bread. Certainly not the quality of service of the other restaurants. We didn't even wait for dessert. It didn't help that the people in two of the tables next to us were obnoxiously drunk.
We just went back to the bar and had mud-slides for dessert. We stayed for the Brazil show. It was pretty good.
Drink of the Day: Hot Summer. Passion fruit juice, lemon juice, brandy, amaretto, triple sec, and grenadine.
