Our first full day was a little bit of a bust. I got dressed and went to the beach as soon as I woke up in order to reserve us lounge chairs. The beach was quite empty. There were some guests doing yoga. There were a lot of workers cleaning the red sargassum that is plaguing the coasts. That was pretty cool to watch.
The weather was cloudy and cool, but I still enjoyed sitting on the beach, listening to the waves, and watching the beach wake up.
Eventually, around 9, Ben found me. I was still pretty much the only one there so we went to breakfast together, and we figured if the chairs got full, that would be OK.
The breakfast was the same every day- a glorious buffet with at least 2 million options for food. It was wonderful!
Then, it started raining. HARD.
Since we were already soaked, and the beach ended up getting closed because the winds picked up, we decided to swim in the now very empty pool.
There was one or two breaks, but eventually the rain just came down in torrents and didn't let up all day/night. We showered and hung out in our rooms for the majority of the day and evening outside of going to dinner. You can see how the grassy area outside our rooms flooded pretty good.
We went to the Japanese restaurant for dinner. The girls tried sushi for the first time. Camille decided she should since she is going to Japan soon. Claire was not a fan. "It has so much rice!"
Then, sadly, I poisoned Ben by giving him some chocolate mousse that had Nutella in it. Curses! Apparently Mexicans LOVE Nutella.
This is how Ben looked after walking about 30 yards back to our room. It really was coming down hard!
So, today was a little bit of a bust, but that's OK. We made the best of it and were still able to relax and enjoy our time
