The weather continues to be on the cold side and sun bathing is not a part of the routine. On this Sunday we have to check out at 10am and can´t check in until 4pm, so we use the time to swim and play in the indoor pool, play some giant outdoor chess and then head to the grocery store to get provisions for week number two. Surprise! It´s Sunday, much like the three hours of Siesta time each day, the country takes the day off on Sunday…nothing is open. Being the ugly American consumer, we don´t quite buy off on this day of rest crap. But we have no choice, we too must relax, rest and leasurly get settled in our new home. Our first impression is we liked our old spot better. This is an older complex and is in a very conjested area, the beaches are nothing like we know in Hawaii or Mexico for that matter. Not nearly as sandy, or expansive. But the internet works here, and they have a large “blogging room” with 7 computers. There are two indoor pools here, but like the other spot, the outdoor pools are closed for the winter. I can tell that summertime here is a wild place with European visitors galore….just a difference ambiance this time of year. Looking forward to another week. Thanksgiving week…and yes, rumor is there will be Turkey.

Ben´s education hangs in the balance
It´s our day to pick up stakes and head to the second of our vacation spots. From Playa De Andaluzia to the Marbella Beach club. Both Marriott. The Marriott sales team are hot on our trail trying to hook us up with a second week purchase of time share…but so far we have been beating them off with sticks and keeping Ben´s college fund in tact. A couple more Sangria reception parties and Ben could be attending the Gig Harbor school of hard knocks.
