Today has been absolutely wonderful. It must be in the eighties but there is a nice breeze. We went out on the deck chairs this morning. You have to go out early to get a the best deck chairs. We had breakfast and I have been in the deck chair most of the day except for lunch. Donna went swimming and had a massage on the beach. Her neck had a kink in it from sleeping wrong, she thinks.
Yesterday was a very stormy day. If you think it rains in Seattle you should see it here. The wind blows so hard and the rain just comes down in sheets. We did take a taxi yesterday before it started raining so hard. We just paid the driver to take us around for two hours so we could see some of the city. We did go by the small tombs but didn't get out. Everything was pretty wet and muddy. Tomorrow we might get the taxi and just go out to the small tombs.
Yesterday we decided to eat at the little cafe down on the beach. It was between storms. We thought it was clearing up but we were wrong. We just started eating and the sky opened up. The waiter had to move our table back and then the water started covering the floor. We had both come down in our tennis shoes (big mistake) so we took off our shoes. The waitress gave us an umbrella and Donna kept our shoes under the umbrella and guarded them with her life. If our shoes had gotten wet, they would mold before they ever got dry. It was a long way back to the hotel and I was not covered very much with the umbrella. I was soaked clear through. My clothes were dripping. I was not uncomfortable because the rain was so warm. Donna saved our shoes and that was what was important.
Dinner was in the convention room last night. It was a cowboy theme and there was a nice show after dinner.
Tonight we go to the fancy dining room. You have to make reservations. Our dinner time is 7pm. Everyone says the food is great. We have to wear dresses or nice slacks. Donna and I are wearing dresses and our nice sandals. Again we have to go outside to get to this restaurant, but you eat inside. I hope the weather holds because if we get caught in a storm we will look like drowned rats.
I can hardly believe tomorrow will be our last full day. We have to leave Thursday morning. Even with the storms this has been a great vacation. This is a real tropical paradise. It is warm all year around. The water is so blue and I will always remember how the sand feels. It is like walking in talcum powder.
