Riviera Maya: Day 3

March 27, Tuesday, Day 3
Karen's Day


I started the day with a run around the resort.  Generally my runs while I was there were finding a path, getting lost, finding a new path, running a bit in a construction zone, getting lost, finding a new path, running on the road, ending up at the gym, finding it packed, leaving, finding a new path, getting lost, etc.


We had breakfast in the room and then headed to the pools for the day. 
We did water aerobics, which I can't say is really my thing.  Especially when we got in a big circle and the instructor decided to come next to me.  This would be fine, except... They do this human spin thing where the instructor starts and puts himself in the middle.  Then everyone in the larger circle spins around into a very tight circle.  I can't really explain it.  The point is, I was second, right after the instructor.  Considering this is my least favorite part of the aerobics, I was less than happy about this.
but... when this is what you're looking at there's not much to be "less than happy" about


We had lunch at a pool restaurant and dinner at an asian place on the resort.  (Mom treated those meals.  Thanks, Mom!)



Dinero for Day 3 (in pesos)
Honestly, I'm not sure about this.  I felt resort meals were pretty pricey, personally.  I think my veggie tacos at lunch were around $115ish.  And my dinner (which ended up being a side dish, I didn't know and there weren't any vegetarian options for "entrees") was around $95 (tofu and noodles)

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike
I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
