I woke up and sat outside by the pool where I got better wifi and could cause the least possible disturbance while I waited for the other two to get breakfast.  After I ate, we went to one of the private beaches on the property.  It turned into a little bit of a dud because there were rocks everywhere both on the beach and in the ocean.  After about half an hour, we decided that we were paying for the pools and they were not something that we encounter every day, so we went to the pool.  Katie has a knack for befriending older people, so we met this lady from Atlanta at the pool and chatted with her for quite a while.  The lady told us her life story and we told her about student teaching in Costa Rica.  It was quite the exchange of storytelling.  We worked on getting our tan on, swam some, and watched this massive five foot long iguana climb the small trees behind us and eat leaves.  We saw a lot of iguanas and monkeys at the resort.  I bought a hot dog for lunch.  It was an interesting hotdog because they put chips on it.  Eventually, Katie and McCall were ready to get their sandwiches, so they walked back to the room.  Only, they forgot a key, so they walked back and I decided to go back with them this time and change locations to the pool close to our room.  An hour or so later, I was ready to get all the sunscreen off of me and face any and all sunburns.  While resting, we watched a movie and ate PB&honey sandwiches.  We finished the day with a couple of drinks from the bar and another movie.
