Dominican Republic day 3

Today is our last full day and my plan was to be outside all day!  I was up super early and claimed my chairs by 7:15am.  Pure bliss!

I had my set up with three chairs . . . two for me with one in shade and one in sun and a third in case the boy decided to leave the room and join me.  It was only 75 degrees and amazing!  Of course Bob and Sue are with me too.  Now let's talk about the beach situation.  I like clear water . . . nothing floating or sticking to me when I get in.  So apparently there is a crew that tries to get the beach clean early in the morning.  Honestly, I think it is pointless and feel bad for all the hard work they are doing.  So there are many men hand ranking the seaweed into piles.  Then a tractor comes along and collects it and then dumps into a truck that carries it away.  

This went on for hours . . . I really felt bad for the workers.  About the time many of the guest arrived a the beach the workers had left.  Since I was up so early, I decided to head to breakfast for a snack.  

Look at those perfectly poached eggs on top of avocado toast . . . how do they get them so white?  When I say I ate, read, napped all day I am not lying.  Only weird thing about being on the beach is there are no waves.  There is a barrier about a hundred yards from shore that goes from surface to sand.  It blocks the seaweed to an extent but also keeps out fish and waves.  Yesterday we walked out there and the water was clear and only chest high.  At first we thought it was a sandbar until we arrived there.  After breakfast, it was back to the beach.   I have enjoyed just sitting around doing very little while reading the adventures of Bob and Sue.  Colin decided to join me for lunch which was nice.  It was back to the beach and pool to enjoy the cooler weather.  We had more beach and pool time before retiring to the room to enjoy our pool and a nap too.

We had dinner at Noodle & Thread which I really think the décor was fun.

The on the house appetizers were yummy too . . . it is all free so it sort of made me laugh that they mentioned they were on the house.

Colin decided he wanted onion soup so back to Brando's for a late night snack.  As we were walking back to the room a storm rolled in causing the power to go off for a bit.  Thankfully it came back on so we could pack for our departure tomorrow.
