Day starts wet and ends with dinner on the beach

A thatched-covered hut with a spacious mattress and pillow, and located on the beach across from our room, turned out to be our alternate home for our vacation here in Riviera Maya.

The resort has dozens of these sheds all along the beach, along with scores of chaise lounges, for the comfort of guests.

So much of the day was spent in our personal shed relaxing and enjoying the sights and sounds of the Caribbean Sea.

It was an unusual a start of the day as it was wet from an overnight downpour. The clouds were dark and threatening and the forecast called for showers.

It slowly cleared up, the skies became sunny, and we hurried over and staked our spot for the day.

We made excellent picks for breakfast and lunch restaurants and enjoyed exquisite cuisine at both locations. The special activity for the day was aqua exercise that I looked forward to especially for my knee. It was a lot of fun as we both took advantage of this session with a professional trainer.

We continued our quiet afternoon and ended the day with the resort’s signature romantic dinner on the beach. The combination of elegant ambience in a hut on the beach, a perfect dinner companion, delicious food, impeccable service and live saxophone music, made for a memorable experience.

Given the enchanting evening, one might overlook for a moment the rest of the complex, if not North America, was focused on a historic championship football game. We thought we’d catch the last quarter on TV when we returned to our room, but the TV signal was lost. It still turned out to be a great day for the Eagles and for us.

Bye for now. Moses and Cintra
