The Nana Second

We got off to a great start on the beach Friday morning and then there were a couple of showers. We ended up having drinks with Maryann and Miguel in Kuku’s Jacuzzi Bar

for a while and afterward they joined us for lunch at the Pina Colada Restaurant where Enrique, our waiter for the past couple of days there, suggested and served us something special for an entree’. Then, for dessert, he presented us with a full plate of mangoes from his own tree! Now that is real service!

There was not much time after that to play on the beach as we had 4pm appointments at the spa for massages.


So we hurried up to the room to clean up and got to the spa just in time.

After a relaxing massage, we were back in the room to relax and get our things packed up and also get ready for dinner downstairs.

On Thursday, when we had dinner at DaVinci’s we were too full for dessert.

So, Jorge, being the great host that he is, agreed to let us come back on Friday night for dessert and champagne, which is just what we did. Here is how they presented our dessert to us.

Maryann and Miguel were also in the restaurant and they had the same dessert.

In fact, it was they who suggested this particular dessert several nights before. It is a very rich dark warm chocolate with vanilla ice cream and delicious.
We visited with them for a while, listened to the harpist and watched the wind blow and rain continue to come down. When it let up, we decided it was time to head back to the room.

The wind howled all night long and this is how it looked out from our balcony this morning.

My morning started off with a very early massage on the beach - a first for me. It was so windy . The sound of the ocean was beautiful. Too bad I had to go to the room and get dressed for the flight back home. Next time I will plan to have the massage so I can just stay on the beach and take a nap - now that’s planning! I’m still learning… It was relaxing nevertheless.

So…now it is back to reality. I suppose that I am ready. One can be a beach bum for just so long. Just a couple of more pictures…

Owen really had the most relaxing week of reading and doing nothing. He loves the beach and listening to the ocean and watching the waves is something that he truly enjoys. Below is where we spent everyday. This is the Pina Colada Restaurant. Our cabana was always the first one in the back. Great spot!

That’s all from Cancun until next year. We are thankful to have gone and thankful to be back home safe and sound. If you haven’t been to the beach in a while, check this one out www.omnihotels.com.
