Wednesday activities

After breakfast yesterday we walked to the resort's cultural center for a ukulele lesson! "Aunty Elaine" was a hoot--a real task master but a lot of fun. She had no problem sternly correcting us when we got our chords wrong. But she was also very happy with us when we got it right, and by the end of the lesson we were playing real songs!


Notice how the ukulele is sitting on my belly. ;o). After the lesson we tried out our 3rd pool of the trip, this time the kid-friendly pool. It was very nice but made us sad thinking of how the kids would love it here. We started dreaming of a way to bring them some day, maybe after we win the lottery.... We stayed here all afternoon and even had lunch in our cabana (shared a hamburger and fries). Here's the view:


We took a little break mid-afternoon to check out our 4th pool which was the fish pond. So much fun!














It was nice to be able to do an "adventure" that didn't require an all-day commitment or a boat ride. The manta ray was cool as were the schools of little silver fish and the bright yellow ones. We only stayed about a half-hour before going back to our base pool, then walking back to our room at about 4pm to get ready for our last function of the trip.
