This is the pool at the hotel. It's ok. Great that we can go downstairs between the hours of 12pm and 9pm and swim to our hears content. Just one thing . . . . it's freakin' freezing! Not heated. I asked the lifeguard if it was heated. He looked at me with a "huh?" expression on his face. *Sidenote* We think the lifeguard is Brazilian. We're not completely sure, he could be Italian, maybe even Chilean, we're just stabbing at nationalities here. And we don't think he speaks much English. I asked, "Is the pool heated?" silence and puzzled expression, me: "Warm? Is the water warm?" him: "Ah, no. No hot." Ooooo-kay. Well, we tried it out for ourselves at about 4:00pm, after the water has had the sun beating down on it all day. Yikes! Surprisingly frigid. The kids did get in because it was so hot, but we left after about a half hour. So much for lounging by the pool while the kids get their wiggles out. Oh well. That and the rain kept us away from the pool until this afternoon. We got a package that had a late-coming birthday present in it. Shark fin flippers for Grant! He'll learn how to use them. If he'll ever get in the water. It wasn't as cold today, it was a bit more comfortable, but still a shock when you slip in. Oh, and we had a new lifeguard today. And believe it or not, I don't think "Complete mastery of the English language" is on his resume either. We're thinking Hungarian this time. Though, we could be wrong

I remember when we were growing up my parents only stopped at motels with pools so that they could rely on us to go swimming for several hours after long car trips.
We found the pool at our place today, no swimming yet... we've been tired and busy with friends. This place is also huge - it took us a bit of running around before we took the right turn/staircase! We also got to the next door library and got our library cards and a bunch of books :)
