Life's a Beach

The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and the sea is a deep turquoise.  Here are some pictures of our home away from home.  Yes, we live in a hotel--it's a two bedroom apartment with living room, kitchen and bathroom located within the hotel, but unavailable for normal hotel booking.  We live on the 10th floor of 20 (see highlight below).



The apartment faired poorly in the wind/rain storm we had last week.  The ceiling in the master bedroom leaked on to the bed for about 3 days, but now the sun is out and we don't need to worry about it raining on both sides of the windows for a while.

This is the view from our main dining/living area.  Can't beat it!

We walk to work (30 minutes) along the beach when the weather is good.  The site provides a light breakfast of rolls, cereal, coffee, tea and yogurt until 9:00 so that's our first meal.  We meet up for lunch in the cafeteria which is our main meal.  After lunch we take a brief walk and then it's back to work.  We walk back home as the sun sets into the water.  Dinner is pasta which Kenny cooks in our little kitchen.  Dessert is dates or nuts or whatever we happen to have in the fridge.  Not a bad life!
