Friday, May 20th

Woke up with a headache, but not as bad. Could have been the sun or not enough sleep.

I fell asleep before the end of a good movie last night though.

Breakfast
Went to the buffet and had a little breakfast. I saw Ursula and her sister and brother-in-law.

She might come with me to tour the condos in Playa Del Carmen today.

Condo Tour
Omar and the condo developers picked me up in an Audi SUV. They were late because of an accident on the new bridge, but Omar called the Bell Boys to let me know.

We talked about the project and ideas for the project on the way there. There were two sets of condos and they are both near each other at the far North end of town. They are decorated very nicely and they will have great perks that come with them. I'm very excited to share this information with my clients.

I also got to see where they are building the new Paradisus resorts.

Lunch
Omar and I walked to a French cafe' for lunch, and one of the developers caught up with us. I had Quiche.

Playa Del Carmen
They offered to give me a ride back to the hotel, but I told them that I would take the collectivo because I wanted to do some shopping. They said to call when I needed to go back, but I didn't want to walk back to the North end of town to get a ride back.

Jorge
My first stop was to see Jorge at his new restaurant in his old location. It is really small, but he's been open for business 3 months now.

Paolo
I stopped to see Paolo at the Jungla Caribe, and discovered that he moved back to Italy. Unfortunately, I only had his e-mail address at the hotel.

Omar
I stopped to see Omar at Rolandi's, but he was on the late shift today and wasn't there yet.

Medicine
I picked up all of the medicine that I needed to get. I guess they didn't stop selling it to us afterall.

Souvenir
I found a really cool ring that I bought for myself.

Collectivo
I walked to the collectivo and took that back to the hotel for only $2.00.

Quiet Pool
Ursula said she'd be hanging out at the quiet pool since she decided not to go to town with me. I checked and she was still there.

I told her about the condos, and we ordered some Banana Milkshakes with Baileys. They were pretty good.

Oops!
We realized that it was already 6:00 and we had to be at dinner at 7:00. We had to rush to get ready again. Cocktails were outside the restaurant first. We sat with a couple ladies from Appleton, WI and some other people we didn't know. Dinner was very weird again. I'm not sure who chooses the menus for the Apple Vacations events, but the food is not normal.
Star Friend
We all went to the lobby bar afterwards to hear Paulina, our Iberostar contact sing. She loves to sing! She is like the energizer bunny. She goes all day long!

12:15 p.m.
Back to the room to pack as they are picking up our luggage at 7:20 a.m.
