Naps!

Wednesday we got up early and got to pray on a cabana overlooking the ocean.  that was really, really beautiful.

we had our first breakfast here at the buffet.  Lots and lots of food.  nothing particularly scrumptious but there's just so much of it. i had pudding for breakfast, not sorry.

Epic nap in the morning while Michelle read.  also not sorry.

lunch at the buffet.  mmmm, buffet-y.

more cabana, more nappnig, some swimming in the ocean.  the beach here is pretty nice.  not a lot of debris floating around, nice sand, not a lot of rocks, gentle slope.  it can be a little cold but not too bad.

People here love their paddleball. like wooden paddles and a big bouncy tennis ball thing.  no net or anything.  Several groups around us were playing for hours.  one had this cute little boy who kept throwing toys at the ball his parents were hitting back and forth (he never got it).

dinner at "swell", an upscale restaurant here at the resort.  we had to make a reservation.  we said 8 pm, and they said "oh just come any time".  ??

the food was good but not particularly vegetarian friendly.  nice chocolate souffle for dessert.  i felt like we were bad customers though: we didn't order any wine, they brought out a free appetizer neither of us ate (squid with pesto on potato chips).  i asked for lamb cooked medium (not cool).  michelle asked for the seafood to be removed from her dish.  they brought free alcohol after, we turned that away too.  we asked if they had any avocado and the guy was like "yes" but he also said something about the ocean and then he ran away.  i was nervous what we'd get.  i know there's a dish like 'affocado' or something that's espresso over ice cream.  But nope we got a for reals avocado.

neither of us could get to sleep.  i can't imagine why....
