Temp: 29 degrees
We had a light breakfast of bagels, creamcheese and coffee, then I lay suntanning by the pool with my mp3 player while Carole was in the spa, getting a pedecure.
And hour later, we went for another nice walk down the beach, and discovered a geocache at the far eastern end. After lunch, we decided to take a little break from all the sun, so we went geocaching / exploring up by Sasquatch Park, Hicks Lake, and Deer Lake. I found my 100th anf 101st geocache today! We also resolved to come camping in Sasquatch Provincial Park soon. Hopefully sometime this year!
Later, we just lounged around the pool, took a walk through the resort's gardens, explored the resort, checked out some of the other amenities, and basically just acted like we were on vacation. To tell you the truth, kicking back in the pool on this gorgeous hot day with a margarita from the pool bar in hand, we just as easily could have been in Mexico. In fact we both remarked about that very thing - it was probably hotter here today than it was in Puerto Vallarta this Christmas, and other than the palm trees being replaced by cedars here, there wasn't much difference. We could just has easily been lounging at a Mexican resort today, yet THIS place is only an hour and a half from home. We've GOT to do this more often.
We freshened up and went out to dinner at a local pizza place. After dinner we had a couple drinks on the balcony and watched the sunset again. After that, a late night dip in the natural hotspring mineral pools, and a swim in the indoor pools.
Today was a good day.
