Slept until 8 and went to the beach and had b-fast. Fruit and French Toast.
Then slathered myself with tanning lotion (Gabrelle obliged and did my back for me:-) )
I sunned and swam...swam and sunned...I did zip, zilch, nada..(except for calling my younger bro and sing Happy Birthday to him) Though something tiny did nip at my calf while standing in the ocean....
I made the decision to snorkel tomorrow instead in the AM then hit a nearby cenote and then hit Cancun.
I had burger on the beach for lunch...Suddenly a strong wind lifted three umbrellas out of the sand. There is a dark sky on the horizon and sheets of rain stretching to the ocean. I finish up my meal and grab the camera.
It misted, but no real rain. It's cool how the ocean totally calms before the storm.
The skies are still dark in the distance but it opens up right at shore. Little birds are scrambling along the beach, peeping and looking for something. My guess is for little critters that the rain scared up on the beach.
The sky is still threatening out by Cozumel (It even disappears for a while in the clouds). I opt for a deep tissue massage on the beach from Dr. Alfonso Roman who studied in Mexico City and is now retired after delivering over 1000 new children into the world.
"It's a miracle I tell you..every one..and then to see them alive...It's a miracle."
He was proud of his work. He was also proud of his massage talents and he did phenomenal..I feel great!
"You have strong muscles, you're lucky I have strong hands...you don't need soft hands.." He knew his stuff...$25 bucks for 30 minutes. Well worth it.
The activity and massage have rendered me pleasantly exhausted. I will sleep well tonight....

There is an elderly man sitting next to me at this internet cafe ($1 for one hour) listening to Rush Limbaugh streaming over the computer...Just thought I'd share;-)
