Cancun Day 6 - Thursday March 22
We rolled out at 8 am this morning and headed for the sun deck. The wind has returned - and we are happy about that. Keeps us cool. It barely reached 80F today, but it's better than the 4-8" of snow predicted for home! Getting out of the water makes things on the colder side. We agreed that both daughters (Kathy & Shelby) would be wearing sweatshirts today.
We ate a late lunch today here at the hotel. It was busy and took longer than usual, but hey, we checked our schedules and we had not pending meetings to attend. Back to the sun deck.
I woke myself up snoring a time or two. Sandy chilled. We rolled back to the room about 4. We showered and walked to a new restaurant, Rosa Negra (The Black Rose). They serve exotic foods that can be found nowhere else on this island - like Scottish, African, Alaskan, South American, etc.
I started with the spicy octopus, which is not that spicy, but it was most certainly tender. They know how to cook octopus. Sandy started with the beef soup. The bread was like a giant croissant. Tasty. For dinner, I had the Nigerian Tiger Shrimp (which should be called Giants not Shrimp). Sandy had the 17oz ribeye, off the bone. It was marinated in beer and cinnamon. For sides we got the grilled asparagus and chipotle mashed potatoes. Fantastic. I drank some spicy drinks from grogs and have no idea what they were, other than awesome. Sandy drank Sprite. It was expensive, but the meal and wait staff were top notch. Not something we have to do every trip, but should someone join us in the future, we shall take them there.
We saw kite surfers today. The rode the entire beach. Yesterday we saw motorized wakeboards. Had not seen that before, but looked awesome. Check out a video of what I'm talking about here:

We have texted back and forth with the kids and even called Kathy last night. We spoke with both sets of parents. Things seem to be going okay at home. As an aside, I forgot to call on the Kubota. I did so today. They are going to perform the 50 and 100 hr maintenance before returning. Will it get home in time for the kids to scoop all the snow? Doubt it now. My bad. Truck is there if you need to use it.
Got basketball on right now. Sandy is working on book #3. Probably to bed early tonight since we got up early. Two more days of soaking up the sun. Y'all enjoy the snow...Typical weather for March Madness...
