We are back on line

We did not have Internet last night so I could not post anything. We had another busy day in the pool. I have learned a ton of great info and am anxious to start putting the new tips to use. Last night we had circuits around the pool with each one featuring a different aspect of swimming such as turns, fly to back and back to breast; freestyle turns; starts; and breast/fly turns.

We went to the beach to chill and have some lunch. Also did a bit of shopping. I have found that the items for sale at the beach are very reasonably priced. We do our best with bits of Spanish. One thing they do understand is "U.S. Dollars".

Here is just a sampling of some neat things you can buy at the beach:



We made a return to the Italian restaurant with 9 new friends. Again, it was great food and company.



Our table:  Sandy, Hannes, Bob (NB), Karen and Katie (Toronto).



Mark (Montreal), David (NB)



This is Antoine from Toronto.

There are evening shows by the stage near the pool. Unfortunately we have not managed to get there because we are so tired. Some of the swimmers said the 60's, 70's and 80's music show was really good. We may try that next week if it is repeated.  Here is the stage:





We still have many other areas to explore around here. It will be another busy week.
