Today was a laid back yet busy day. The day seemed to fly by.........We started out on the beach. Art got us great loungers but for some reason there was not only the usual shortage of umbrellas, there was a shortage of little tables between the loungers. It took some searching but Art found us one. We spent most of the morning at the beach. Then around 11am it warmed up to the hot zone and with no shade it gets pretty hot. Not only that it had gotten pretty full. Folks were trying to steal loungers. Art went to the bathroom and while he was gone, I had three people ask for his lounger. At least they asked and didn't just take it. When he got back, we packed it up and went to the private pool. There was plenty of loungers, little tables and most importantly shade.
The pool was pretty cold but the big hot tub area was heated. I opted to be in the hot tub pool. After being in the hot tub pool a little while Art decided to give the cold pool a try. While he was doing that I stayed in the hot tub pool. There was a young couple in the hot tub pool and they came up to me and they were all friendly and smiley and asked if I was at the hotel alone. I said no I was there with my husband and just then Art came back. Then they were super curt and left me alone after that. Not sure what they would have said if I would have said yes. We did have a great conversation with a man from North Eastern Canada. He has traveled all over Idaho and named several cities he has visited. Small world.
There was a iguana at the pool area. Art was snoozing it his lounger and it was fascinated watching him. He sat at the end of lounger watching him until he woke up. Then another bigger iguana came. When he saw the other iguana he start nodding his head wildly then made his move and hoped on her. She was not having it though and in the water they went. By then everyone was gathered watching her get away. That is one wild pool for sure.
It has been great people watching this week. We started giving people names that we think they should be named. One couple we named Birdie and Hank. Not sure what Birdie's real name is but I found out today Hank's name is really Hank. Too funny!
We walked to Outback for dinner. It is really close to our hotel. The road we had to cross was a little scary but we managed it just great. The food was....... OH.MY.WORD!!!! It was beyond delicious. We decided they had to have their meat imported from Missouri. It was tender and flavorful! Art order a gin and tonic and the waiter brought all the stuff for it and let him mix it himself. He thought the bartender made a great drink......hahaha. Our waiter spoke perfect English with hardly any accent. I would bet he spent time in the US but we didn't ask him. We really want to go back again before we have to go home.
We had a beautiful sunset tonight. The sunsets here are so incredible. That is one of the things we have always really enjoyed here, They have the perfect spot to watch the sun set here.
Today is drawing to a close. It was a great day!
