I'm a damn mermaid!
So today I was determined to do some of the pool activities like the water aerobics but they threw me a curve ball: floating yoga mats and full fledged yoga. Yeah I'll die. Hard pass. Instead I found a free scuba try out. I was worried about trying the flippers not sure if my leg could handle that much resistance but he said I could just try the tank and swim around the pool (cute kid from Texas). 'Most people panic when they go under the first time and hold their breath instead of breathing normally and go splashing back up.' I'm like okay I get that. The tank and the mask were fine but there's no weight belt since we're in a pool. Have I mentioned I float like the blubber I am?
We went under together but I can't get to the bottom but I had no problems breathing. Second try, he helps me down and once I'm on the bottom I'm all over that pool. I was sad when I had to come up. I've always wanted to learn to scuba dive. Had he been there earlier in the week I might have sprung for the full class and dived the reef. Unfortunately I'm on the plane in 36 hours and you're not supposed to dive and the fly, messes up the blood gases. But now I know I can handle the breathing. I can try the flippers and maybe take a class someday.
Tonight was Teppanyaki Japanese and our cook started off well, flipping an egg (for the fried rice) slicing the shell midair but messed up on the second egg and it was like the showmanship went out of him. Ah well, the meal he cooked was excellent. the crispy fried rice was delicious and the filet mignon beef was too, not to mention the chicken and shrimp. I enjoyed it.
We took a lot of photos (I will share soon, promise) especially of the full moon over the ocean.
The show tonight was illusion and music. Gave me story ideas. Mom and I really enjoyed that one. Sort of a journey of a would-be magician led into magic by a team of singer-dancers/magicians/true magic users?
Drink of the day: espresso corretto which is an Italian cocktail but instead of what they use in Italy it used vodka, carajillo liquor and crema de leche and was delicious. And the Mango Tango (mango nectar, orange juice, coconut rum) yum.
And I introduced the family to affrogatos which are also yummy.
