We managed, despite much experience, to slightly burn on the first day. Not the 'oh hell' i'm a walking cherry, but much more lobster like than would be ideal. Actually, I am a normal just got sun for the first time in a year--Suk however is perhaps a bit more pink then she is comfortable with considering her ethnic skin.
It was "cold" by local standards today, 70+ degrees in the middle of winter. We are actually wearing long sleeves after dark, but i'm completely ok not feeling like i'm suffocating for the 16 humid daylight hours.
On another note, i'm pretty sure the food is better than last year. Or maybe I just know exactly what to zero in on this time. I have also learned to LOAD up on protein and any fat i can get my hands on-- all carbs come from booze around here. Neat discovery, Mexico has coconut milk. copious amounts of it in the form of pina colada mix sans the sugar they add to the drinks. SWEET! (and not in an insulin spiking dangerously sort of way). New drink: rum, pina mix and a little banana blended. just sweet enough-- and friggin deliciously continuously cold.
The people here know us at this point. By us, I mean the bald headed Korean i am keeping company. 3rd time at this resort--somehow two sweet (sometimes belligerent) short haired girls who actually tip (europeans and canadians are the same everywhere in the shitty tipping department) make an impression. We have had champagne sent to our room anonymously--table in the Buffet!(lol) area reserved for us and I don't think dinner ressies will ever be a problem last minute. Some great little tips for where to eat locally and "disco". Ha. No disco for us, but we can smile and pretend we're not old farts who fall asleep reading and playing sudoku.
More on this whole resort thing tomorrow. Never thought i'd be the type, but thoughts are congealing (making peace with my soul) and the subject definately deserves its own post.
Now on to drink my coffee and watch the ocean from our balcony. Dont pretend you're not jealous--have I mentioned that I am really red?
