El Cortecito

Well, sad news today with the death of the Pope. I watched the coverage this morning. Conclave will occur in the next 15-20 days in the Sistine Chapel where I sat in 2023. Kinda cool.

Today was a better day. Headache gone, humidity low and the sun was shining. Thought I would try the outside lounge for lunch. I sat and waited and waited and waited for a waiter so I left. Trusted Helios here I come. Then I remembered... Helios has Paella. Shoot too late I already have salmon. Paella tomorrow.

All was good today until someone puked in the pool. Hahaha it was a mass exodus. It's going to be a rough night for somebody.

Dinner is asian at Bamboo. The restaurant was surrounded by a garden and steam, lovely. Hard to capture at night, sorry. It also had tatami tables for groups. I had Sushi and Noodles to start then Chicken Pad Thai with Shrimp. No desert for me couldn't wait to get out of the restaurant.

OMG every time the kitchen door opened there was this whistle. I couldn't stand it. Put a window in the freak'n door so staff can see traffic. Then a waiter drops a tray stand in front of a table with no apology. Ya know what, the five kids sitting two tables over made less noise than the staff. I noticed this trend at the French restaurant as well.

There was this cool sign outside the restaurant. Again a little hard to shoot at night. I also saw the tennis courts and the shopping area. That warrants a trip back tomorrow.

Turning in for the evening. Lots to see tomorrow. 😴Read more
