Well, we used the last few days to slowly book the next phase, sit in the sun and scout out the lavanderia. Club Maeva is such an easy place to be. We love the families that checked in for a long weekend. We even had some fellow Americans here for a day. They live and work in the area. I don't know why the little girls seem so darling. I think it is because they start walking around wherever when they are very young, dressed up and out going.
SUNDAY - We admired all of the people young and not so young who came to the beach early in the morning to run, walk, bicycle or skate. There seems to be good attitudes toward exercise and we didn't see any overweight people. Very health conscious.
By the way, I ran out of my med for my arthritic back (I knew I would),so I went to a Farmacia and just asked for it. They had it, no problem. Cost for over a month approximately $12 US. Just about the same as I would have to copay with my insurance.
THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!! The hotel arranged to have it on their big screens and although it was announced in Spanish we followed it very well. We had some other people watching with is who felt sorry for us when that pass was intercepted. Oh well, .....
Next our road trip to Xilitla,

CLUB MAEVA MIRAMAR, TAMPICO
We arrived, checked into this all inclusive resort, found our room s. We have a living room with 2 couches, an eating space, a "kitchen" which will never be used, very large king size bedroom with TV (all Spanish but we may get to see the Super Bowl) and, of course, a bathroom. All meals are provided, snacks, drinks, anything, all tips are paid and there seems to be maid service everyday. Just ask and we can have. This is like owning a palace with many rooms and many staff.
Now I will confess that it is low season and this huge hotel and resort with 4 or 5 swimming pools and private access to the beach, has VERY FEW guests so of course we get attention. There are many Federal Police staying here. We were told that they gather here for some reason (strategy) and they go to that town in Guerrero where those students were kidnapped and murdered. The people here don't know if it is to make a statement because local elections are soon to be held or if by chance they might do some good. In any event, if they are there regularly, then the cartels might pick up and leave. The problem is where will they land this time. Anyway, the Mexican people go about their business but even they are cautious in the night time. They are praying that this will pass........
So yesterday we had travelled a long time and I was tired. We ate our lunch at about 3 and went for a walk around the property, then I was done in. Had a great rest and woke up this morning refreshed.
The food here so far has been very good indeed. After desayuno this morning (we were the only guests in a huge room), we went for a long walk on the beautiful beach. It was warm but not hot - just right. Then we sat by the pool (all alone) after we had discovered the "adult only pool area". I took many photos which I still cannot insert. Can't figure out what went wrong from one blog to another.
Oh yes, we have 2 balconies. We can sit and watch the beach and all of the people who are working and playing in the square across the street. Pete is happy with the security of the car since it is parked smack dab in the middle of about 20 police vehicals.
We are surprised that there aren't many guests here but we really don't care. We are happy to get lots of smiles and attention.
Tomorrow we will take a tour of the city of Tampico so I may have more to tell you about this area.
