One Week in Paradise, Day 2

Since the supermarket was nearby, we bought quite a few breakfast things so we can just make breakfast ourselves in the hotel room. Today was kind of a slow day since all was focused on the Mexico vs Netherlands game in the World Cup. I missed the first half but watched the second half of the game. Everything seemed to be on stand still for this game. Every bar or restaurant with a TV was packed so we decided to go get food after the game. It was a disappointing loss for Mexico and the game was just so close. I really thought they were going to win 1-0 but those two goals by the Netherlands came quickly at the end.

Afterwards my parents went out for a walk to get food and they took so long. Apparently they walked a mile to the place, found out it was closed, then walked back to just get food in the nearby mall.The food was super delicious though.There was then not much we could do because much of our stuff was in those two luggages we were still missing. It was already 4 pm and United, the worst airlines ever, had still not delivered them. Finally, we we were so angry that we were just about to go to Walmart to get a bathing suit and clothes and sunblock when the luggage finally arrived. Although it did eventually come, I'm still angry with United. I am never going to fly United again. They didn't even offer any compensation for this huge inconvenience. Their customer service was not at all helpful. Worst airline I've ever traveled with.

Finally, we were able to go to the beach and use the waterproof camera. The waves were quite strong and the sand was dark. The water was pretty dark, not at all clear. The nice thing was the water was warm. Not at all like the freezing cold waters of the East Coast.

For dinner, we ate at a restaurant in the resort called El Dynamita which seems to specialize in seafood. They actually asked us what kind of seafood we liked and then created a semi-customized dish for us. We had one appetizer of tuna then three entrees of sea bass, shrimp, and a steak dish that also had octopus. Everything was so delicious. Definitely a great end to the day.
