For a change, we slept in later than we usually do. Can't say that we are not getting a lot of rest during our stay. And it has to be helping me recover from this virus.
Running low on the coffee pods and tea bags, we called to ask for more. Requesting regular coffee, they brought decaf, and many tea bags. Calling again, the correct ones were brought, with the deliverer giggling down the hallway. It seems that about half of the time, something we have ordered is missing. And most of those times, we don't call. The secret could be not to order too many things at once.
After our yogurt breakfast with cranberry juice, we headed out for our morning walk. This time we were determined to find Walmart, which is supposed to be close by. Asking a group of ladies who were waiting to enter an exercise club, they pointed up the street and across the road. We would not have seen it, because the building was buried in palm trees, and there was not even a sign of what it was.
It had everything we needed and more. Prices were better than anywhere we have shopped. We do have a Walmart at home, but it is over the hill, and not on our regular path. And the largest city near us, Concord, will not allowed one to be built as far as we know. Lucky we have a Costco.
Lunch was in our room again with sandwiches just like we make at home. And now we have biscotti cookies, one of our favorites. They go well with slices of apples.
On our late afternoon walk, we passed more couples that were doing the same thing as us. Now we are wondering if this hotel is strictly for quarantined guests? It's almost like – don't ask, don't tell type of situation. The sun was going down, giving us a much different type of setting.
Dinner was one turkey BLT and one cheeseburger. They came with fries, although we had ordered a side salad instead. Our delivery gal said just keep them and enjoy the fries. Previous to this delivery, she had brought someone else's food. Meeting us at the door, she switched bags with us.
The final movie of the evening was the first half of Titanic, which we have seen a hundred times already. We think the best part was before hitting the iceberg, especially with everyone onboard. Don't need that in our heads once we go back.
Another day gone……….
