january in mexico. Not a bad way to spend a week.
Got here on saturday (the 12th). On the beach by 1130 or so. I, of course, burnt immediately despite the constant application of spf 30. It finally stopped hurting. oh well. Went to a lovely italian place that night in the marina called portobello. It was yum.
So during the day we just lie around on the beach or by the pool. Definitely prefer the pool at the this hotel. The beach is nice, but it's not a smooth sand beach, so it's a little uncomfortable to walk on. Plus, it's very far away from the restrooms. An important thing to consider. But the pools are great. I think there are something like four or five on the properrty. And they all have these little beds built in that you can lie on. Little sunning beds. So i bring a book into the pool, lie down in the water. Can't complain.
Dinner at Trio on sunday. Also yum. Our routine has been to get up around 730 or 8, hit the gym, get breakfast, then go change into our suits. Lie out from about 10 to 4 or 5, get cleaned up for dinner. Rough life, i know.
monday night we booked massages at this little place in the marina that does 75 min for $40. Cannot find that kind of deal at home. It was heaven. We're going back tonight. After the masssage we went to a sushi place called Susie Wong's. It was okay. I can be snobby about my sushi. I like it cold, and this place was lukewarm. Oh well. Still good.
Tuesday morning we walked into the marina for exercise and breakfast. Then i had my nails done at a little place. I thought they had done a good job. It was a nice experience - they even put cucumbers on my eyes. Nice. But about half way through the day i noticed that the polish was still sticky, and then it started coming off. Definitely not happy about that. By late in the afternoon it was all gone. So might go say something to them when we go to the marina tonight.
so last night we went to Las Palapas with a couple that mom knows from home. Claytonites. I've met them before i think. Anyway. This couple brought some friends of theirs who are also from st. louis. I got stuck sitting at the end of the table with the friends of friends. The husband was nice enough, but the wife started talking about her alcoholism and depression, and would not shut up. Once she found out i was a clinical social worker, all bets were off. Omg! I fell like i should've been paid for dinner! I had 2 strawberry daquiris instead. She had a bunch of stuff going on. It was a little much for me.
i skipped the gym this morning in favor of sleep. By the pool now. Very relaxing. Gonna go read now. Later.
