Final Day in Paradaise

Greetings. This is my last day in Paradaise. i just can't believe it. I don't want to leave. It's so gorgeous here in every way. I started the day with a visit to the spa that is RIGHT NEXT DOOR! and had a workout. the spa is built like an ancient Mayan ruin and there is no one in there. Forgive me if I already wrote about this but it really feels decadent. and the facility is large and beautiful with fountains of running water everywhere and containers of ice water with lime for your convenience. There is a steam room, a sauna, the latest workout equipment, day beds, and all amidst gorgeous tile work. I was able to go as a guest all week! I'll try and remember to take a photo of the building.

Yesterday I did something that I am a specialist in which is wandering around foreign countries alone and getting lost. Eventually I found my way but it was annoying with an aching foot to lose ground and time. When I get home I will have to spend time and money back in physical therapy to deal with the blessed foot.

I went to the beach (a given) then wandered around the shopping area. Fortunately I didn't find much that I HAD TO HAVE. I like collecting gifts and saving them for occasions if I see something that is just right for a friend.

I took a taxi back to find that my pals had returned from their overnight and we enjoyed another night of talking and laughing and visiting friends of theirs in this condo area for margaritas. I didn't know there is a whole subculture of Norweigan jokes that folks make who live in Minnesota. Funny.


I said I was going to do readings yesterday morning and didn't so now I AM. The pic today is the painting I did of my friends here Win and Elizabeth.

Adios for now. Melissa
