Everyone has been sleeping late, and then, after lunch at the pool, Tony, Ray and Ravi swim for the rest of the afternoon. The adults, who, for the most part, remain shaded under umbrellas, jump in to cavort with the kids when their need to cool off can’t be put off for one second more, being that this has been predicted to be one of the hottest weeks of the summer.
We decided not to stay at the resort, because I crave quiet and can’t cool off in the pool (ensuring that my latest incision doesn’t become infected), and I sure don’t have the energy to sizzle in the heat. As it is, I lie on the couch for most of the time that we’re at the villa. Having become a gramma who watches instead of participating in the fun is a hard pill to swallow.
A really nice perK, accompaning each villa, is the fact that everyone has access to the facilities at the JW Marriott, (a 5* luxury resort, on the next property). There are five pools, a lazy river with inner tubes and a water slide. That’s where everyone is hanging out, today.
If you open the front door of their villas, you’ll step into a courtyard where foozball, ping pong, boche-ball, shuffleboard and other games entice everyone outside once the sun goes down. While our family plays, I’m content to sit and watch (until I find myself in the midst of the automatic sprinklers, which gave me a surprise shower, yesterday. Last night, the guys braved the heat and bbq’d; tonight Marie is baking a frozen lasagne and all the fixings..
So far, no one is looking to find an indoor activity. Right now, it’s 101 degrees and breezy. It’s supposed to be 10 degrees cooler, today, than yesterday (which was 116). I’m content knowing how much everyone feels free to relax and enjoy each other.
Life is good.
