El Cardon en flor al lado nuestra habitaciĆ³n




We relaxed a lot today. Gerri got up very early. Our morning routine is pretty much the same every day; I fix and serve coffee, we check out everything on the computer and I have coffee on the balcony while reading. I misplaced my Kindle and have been reading novels found at the towel stands at the resort. I'm pretty sure I have read a couple of them before.

The maid service here at Club Regina comes twice a day. In the morning or early afternoon they make up the room and then in the early evening a maid comes and turns down the beds and offers to get us ice if we want it. A couple of days ago the evening maid left throw rugs by the bed with the Raintree Vacation Club name and logo. We thought that was very nice. When we came back from the pool the next day the rugs were gone. We thought that was odd.

We didn't go to the pool until almost two. On the way we met a lady that comes around every day and asks if there are any problems with our room or anything else around the resort. Gerri told her about the rugs. Later she found Gerri and told her that the Blue membership level owners got the rugs. They were put in our room by mistake, we are only Platinum members. When we returned to our unit we had rugs. We jokingly told the story to Pam and Steve and found out they didn't get the turn down service, hadn't seen any rugs and also didn't have Terry robes provided in their unit. One of the things we have noticed about both of the resorts we stay at here in Los Cabos is the difficulty of getting washcloths, sometimes the maid leaves them and sometimes not. It is then difficult to describe what we want to housekeeping.
After making requests we have had paper towels and more bath towels delivered but seldom face cloths. Over they years this has become a standing joke or quirk of staying here. Pam and Steve have always got washcloths. I guess it all depends on your luck of the draw when maids are assigned to the different buildings.

We only stayed at poolside until about 3:30. Our evening plans we to have tacos at the Altura restaurant on property. Before going to dinner we visited with Curtis, Dana Brandon and Vanessa for about 40 minutes on Skype.

At the Altura restaurant we had pork tacos, three for $65.00 MPN, about $6 US. There is a pool by the Altura and of course it overlooks the ocean. We saw the moon rise, it was high in the sky and almost full before the sun started to set. There were several local artisans that had their crafts on display. Gerri bought a small beaded sombrero and fish.  We met three people from Hershey, PA and visited with them. They thought it was funny that the maid left Hershey kisses on the bed every night.

We got back to our unit about 9 and guess what, Gerri was tired. Go figure she was awake at 3 AM. No dominoes tonight.
