RIU Tequila - Day 4

We woke up later today (about 8:00 a.m.).

Today was the hottest day yet!

On the way to breakfast, a giant blackbird landed on my head! I thought it was trying to steal my hair. It probably looked like a nest. I screamed and mom yelled at me! I think she would have screamed louder if it happened to her!!!

We went to the buffet for breakfast, then went to the Sports Bar to get some take-out to have for breakfast tomorrow. We have a very early departure, so we won't be able to eat at the buffet first. I'm sure going to miss the fresh squeezed juices for breakfast!

Pool
Not a lot to do today except the pool. It's hot, plus it's our last day to enjoy the sun, the pool, the food, etc.! It really flies by.

Freaky Sunburn
I discovered a way to cover my neck so that I wouldn't get red lines like I always do. Well, it didn't matter because I still got one red patch on the side. My face is bright red and blotchy and the center of my chest didn't get burned, but each side did. I look like a freak show! Not sure why I always get the weirdest sunburn. I guess that I won't be needing a Halloween costume. I will just go as a tourist!

Caribbean Party
They had a Caribbean party at the RIU Tequila today with a live band, dancing, towel art demonstrations, ice carving, and fruit/vegetable carving.

They made me dance, if you can believe that (well, I have the pictures to prove it!).

Lunch
Lunch was poolside, as it's the only option. Today, I had a nice julienne salad.

Pool, Pool, and More Pool
Basically, we just hung out and read. Mom was antsy and went in around 2:00 p.m.

Rain
We had another short shower before we got ready for dinner.

Dinner
They had a Caribbean theme for dinner. They had a lot of seafood, but they also had a lot of other things as well. Notice how I always mention dessert?....They had crepes tonight. Mmmmm!

Entertainment
Tonight is casino night. The guy who made me dance with him earlier remembered me and asked if we wanted to play Roulette. I've never played in my life, and I'm not really sure that I know how still, but we played till we ran out of chips. We didn't win!

A live band was playing music in the lobby this evening, and pretty good music too.

Casino Show
They also had their standard evening program, which had a casino theme. They tried to get me to participate in the pre-show activities, but I said "no way Jose!" Fortunately I did not go up there because the game consisted of guessing theme songs to movies (which I would totally lose because I never watch movies), a beer drinking contest out of a straw - male vs. female (I don't drink beer!), and lastly, pass the card with your lips and back again (H1N1!!!...They don't call me "Monk" for nothing!).

The casino show was very good. They did a lot of Las Vegas-style dances. The guy who was in charge of the Roulette table came and sat next to me. LOL He said he would be back (he had to emcee) but we left! LOL Before we left, two of the entertainers lifted me, my chair, and my laptop onto the stage because I didn't want to participate in the final show where they have guests dancing on the stage.

Packing
Mom and I packed, read, and went to bed!
