2/24/2010: Day 3

As you can see, I am way behind on blogging. It's easy to get lost in time when you don't have to be anywhere, and you can sit around being totally relaxed all day...and night..and the next day. You get the point!

So, Day 3. Day 3 was fairly laid back. We attended THREE (3) fitness classes. 8am stretching for 45 minutes. Pilates at 10am for 45 minutes. Fitball at 4pm for 45 minutes. The next day (speaking for myself) I was soooo sore. But back to Day 3. After stretching we decided to take a little walk around the grounds. We found the swim up aqua bar and the herb garden.

I don't think we did much else that whole day...but eat and hang out. The weather wasn't all that great, as it has been most of the time we've been here. It's been rainy and windy and even chilly, nearly cold at times. The locals say the weather all across Mexico is very odd. Lucky us. ;)

This was also the day we moved to our new suite. The suite we were in was on the bottom floor, overlooking the canals...but there was a lot of growth in the way, so we had no view. We asked to be moved to a top floor suite as one came available, and it did on Wednesday afternoon. The new suite overlooks one of the holes at El Camaleon (or however you spell it)--the really nice golf course that where the PGA just played last week for the Mayakoba Classic. BUT--we're also close enough to the beach that we can hear the waves crashing, close enough to the highway to hear the traffic, and so close to the golf course that we can/see the machines every morning taking care of the greens, and the people who work and play on the greens. So, there are pros and cons. Still, we're staying in a $800 per night suite for free...so I can't bitch too much. I was hoping for a PERFECT suite, though....on top, overlooking the water, with no noise. The upside is that this suite has alot of natural light and I REALLY like that.

For dinner we made reservations at Las Brisas, overlooking the ocean. It's a great place to eat. Eric had really good fish and I had....beef dumplings and duck poblano soup. :) We also shared a nice bottle of chardonnay...very buttery and sweet. Yum! For dessert we had a sorbet combo (small detour--Eric LOVES sorbet, especially the sorbet from Fairmont. When he was working in Boston, he had the sorbet all of the time. Now we have it a lot of the time here. Lucky him, huh?). Ok, back to Mayakoba...

We decided to try the sorbet sampler. Much to our surprise, it came with five flavors, and not the standard lemon, mango and raspberry. What started as a WTF turned into an OMG. Avocado mint sorbet....amazing. Chili sorbet...hot, but yum. Apple clove...OMG. There were also two others that were okay, but not memorable.


After dinner we rolled home and went to bed. End of Day 3.
