day four:this was a day of chilling. we hung-out on the beach for much of the day. it was relaxing and vacationy. i got a half hour massage for 10 pesos (i would've gone for the hour for 25 pesos, but i didn't have enough because of my absent wallet). the strangest thing about my massage was my introduction to the masseuse. he arrived at the hut, he introduced himself "hola, i'm juan carlos", "hola" i said in return. then he opened his hand to present some raisins and a few blanched peanuts. like this...
so i accepted them from him with a "gracias" then slipped them into my purse while noting that i probably shouldn't eat them. his heart was in the right place.
that night we had our special a la carte dinner at the restaurant (we usually ate at the dinning hall where there was a buffet). we got all dressed up and ready to go – which was difficult because the power kept going off, but we managed. unfortunately it started raining again, but it wasn't that far of a walk. again we went to the nightly entertainment. each night after the performances they did this thing called "club dance". at first we were very puzzled and didn't understand what was happening. we quickly surmised that it was something like the macarena. but the lyrics went like "do you want to touch me? si!", it took us almost the whole week to figure that out. shanno found this video online.
some day things won't be the same.
