Hmm — so didnt make it on the bicycles yesterday. The inertia of poolside life took that thought right out of my mind. Spent the day at the pool and at the beach. Today we are going to get in the car and do a road trip to Playa Del Carmen, its supposedly a big city which will be a nice break from the resort life.
I thought this trip would be more like Aruba in terms of my energy leve but I am way more restless than I was halfway through school. I was tired back then it was tough with school and work and all. Mainly it was the school those four hours so late really did me in. Im sure that the salon on some days is going to be as tiring but I will at least be able to get into bed at a decent hour and not be up until 11-12 everynight. Anyway, so yeah, Im all restless here and this place is really a place to just relax. It doenst help that the only books I brought arent books that Im particularly into. I brought A new Earth, which is really really good but its not the vibe Im into at the moment, and I also brought The Golden Compass which is also good but its a tween book and its just a bit irritating on some level.
Yesterday there 18 people booked into the hotel, which is pretty amazing, how can you stay in business with so few customers. Maybe its not high season as of yet, who knows. Although there was a robbery here a year back or so. It was a wedding party and someome had thier safe broken into, whoever wrote the review went on and on and on about it and maybe thats hurt business. I dont feel that I or my shit is unsafe at all and that type of robbery takes place everywhere. There were a few new face yesterday so perhaps it will be more busy as the week goes on. I think if we come to this style of vacation, relaxed beachy type we are going to do a gay place. We have met one couple, a teacher and his wife from indiana the sweetest folks you ever want to mee. Otherwise people are a little but standoffish. You kinda forget that being gay is so controversial, but it is in some parts of the world. The staff has been nothing but sweet so I cant fault them at all.
