10 October 2010
This morning was our “free” breakfast and “tour.” We met the taxi across the street from Los Tules for the ride to the other place. We did get breakfast, which was quite good. However the tour and sales pitch took more time than we had planned (of course), and, in fact, we had to say “no” to four different people to get our promised premiums: a couple of local tours, and a bottle of tequila. And we came out with lots of practice at saying “no” to all the other salesmen we are meeting.
The rest of the day was very relaxing. We stayed at our resort except for another foray to go shopping at the same store as yesterday. It is sort of like an overgrown Fred Meyer one-stop shopping center, with groceries, clothing, household, appliances, and just about everything else you might need. (By the way, we did see a sign for the PV Costco in the airport, but will probably not get out there.)
Since our room is very close to one of the eight pools here, we did try it out. Dick even went to the beach, where the water was almost as warm as the pool, but with a much less smooth surface, of course. And since it’s on a bay, not much surf. The pools are a bit warmer and safer feeling.
An added bonus in the evening was a couple of brief sets of fireworks. We don’t know who set them off, or why, but we enjoyed them.
