After breakfast we meandered over to our lounge chairs that were ready and waiting for us. They cover the lounge chair in two towels and leave an extra to use for drying off. Kenny prefers to be in the shade while I prefer to be in the sun so Fredrico would align the umbrella just perfectly so that we had shade and sun. Our whole day was about nothing other than catching up and hanging out just the two of us.
As someone we met there said...In order to come to this resort, you really have to like your spouse. There are things to do throughout the property like the spa, cigar making, ceramics, wine tasting etc but our goal was to just relax and reconnect.

I wanted to participate in the Temazcal ceremony but the times it was offered were already full when we got there. (more on that later) We showed up and asked if they could fit two more and sure enough the Shaman welcomed us after we signed some forms. Kenny's along for the ride so he came too not knowing what it was.
We started by following the Shaman over to the spa area and put all our stuff away and were instructed to only keep our shoes and swim suits on. After some explanations, which were mostly in Spanish, we ventured into what is basically in igloo and the ceremony started. The Temazcal is an ancient Mayan healing ceremony which purifies the mind and the spirit. The ceremony is much like a sweat lodge if you know what that is.

After sweating buckets and having our spirits healed, we decided lunch was in order. We ate at El Chiringuito and it was really tasty.

After lunch we did a lot more of the laying by the pool thing. Chatting and getting to know our neighbors who I hope will be friends for life!

Kenny was finally able to relax and got in the pool and had a nice time I think. He's more of a go go go go go type of vacationer and I'm more of put me with a good view and a good book and I'll have had a fantastic vacation. Maybe he's coming around to my way of thinking? At least once every 17 years! LOL
