Day Two, April 13th
Again I wake up early, about 6am. This will continue to be the theme of our mornings on this trip. The excitement of a new day where the most difficult decision will be pool or beach or both, is too much. After breakfast we decide on both, morning pool/afternoon beach. Just going to take it easy at resort today. Peep meet is tonight at Beer Bucket, and we want to reserve our strength.

Forgot to take camera to breakfast buffet, but will remedy this tomorrow.

I'm not one to sit still for long so while Kylee reads I wander for a walk on the beach with the camera.

A couple more of the ship as a panned back.



Iguana on the beach in front of resort


As I stroll along the beach, I stop for morning refreshments at the Riu Palace Mexico's beach bar


After the beach walk, decide to take out the complimentary kayak. Although it doesn't look it, the water was a little rough so didn't stay out too long. Most of the week were yellow flag days, but a yellow flag in Playa is better than a green flag at work...or something like that.


After a nice walk and a row it's time for lunch. We were a little early, but enjoyed our view from our table at Chilis, the resort's beach/lunch restaurant, while we waited.


Hey, I'm ready to chow!


Sushi chef hard at work.


After lunch, it's time to relax. Our view most of the afternoon.


This year the resort had great beach drink service. Someone was by every half hour to hour for drink order and to pick up empty cups. Even if you had to fetch your own, they had a beach bar set up with sodas, water and most importantly beer.


Beach or pool, Kylee's veiw was mostly between the covers of a book. With 6 and 3 y/o boys we never have time to read at home, so she's taking advantage.


On our way to the room to get ready for dinner, we noticed this lost in translation. Should we "stop" in case of fire?
