GBP Coba, Day 7

Playa Del Carmen
Mom & I decided to go to Playa Del Carmen again. I wore my bathing suit top under my t-shirt so I could get some sun, but it was not that hot. It was nice while we were walking around though. I bought a cute black dress at bershka.com.

Jungla Caribe
I stopped to say goodbye to Paolo because I told him that I would be back. He's so nice.

Rolandi's
Naturally, mom didn't want to try anything new, so we went to Rolandi's for lunch even though we had pizza every day at the Bahia Principe. They do have good brick oven pizza though. Omar was working too, so I got to talk to him and catch up for a few minutes. He's a friend I met when I stayed in Playa for 2 1/2 weeks in April.

Rain
It rained at the Bahia while we were gone a little. There's really not much sun out, but I'm going to try to take advantage of it since we leave in the morning.

Mucho Frio
I tried laying out for a little while, but it was too cold and I put the towel over me, so what was the point?

Locked Out
When I went back to my room, I realized that I locked my key in my room. Security was downstairs, so I asked him to open it and he never returned. Finally, I found one of the housekeepers who let me in.

Internet
I wanted to check e-mail before dinner and Luis had e-mailed me asking me to stop by to say "goodbye" in person. I ran over there because I only had about 15 minutes to spare before dinner. I said goodbye to him and Ann Marie. They were joking with me and asked me when I was coming back. LOL...don't tempt me! It's hard to say goodbye.

La Gran Tortuga
Luis sent me in a shuttle to pick up my parents and then they drove us to the restaurant, which was the steak house. There was a cat outside (the first time I ever saw a cat on the grounds). They brought a heart shaped cake for my mom and dad's 45th wedding anniversary. Then, the shuttle driver picked us up again. He was so funny, he told us his Doberman was "poopy," but he meant that it was a "puppy." He also told us that a big group from Spain and Portugal "invaded the lobby" at the Coba. I realized that's why it was so smoky the other night. I told him "no fumar!"

Premiere Lobby
We went to listen to the band again. Dad tried a shot of Habañero Tequila. It was our last night.

Un Amigo Especial
When I returned to my room, I found a letter and a jewelry box on my bed. It was the nicest letter from Luis, the Hotel Director and a beautiful silver necklace with hearts on it. It is a very meaningful gift and every time I wear it, I will think of him and my 40th birthday.
