Suite Sue

On day one after the great Mexican meal with live music we stopped at the 5th floor Aqua Club Lounge for an after dinner digetif.  Instead of a small drink to help with digestion, Sue requested a small sampling of some tequilas.

Said (sah-eed), the bartender was eager to bring out all of his tequilas and even a bottle of mescal with the worm in the bottom.  I didn’t look real close at the worm because I did not want to know if it really was real.

Somehow, Sue did not wake up the next day with a headache like I did.  The dark red drink is a palate cleaner made from a variety of juices and other mysterious ingredients. Said said the tall bottle is $90 a bottle while the cheaper ones are more like $30. There was a difference in taste but they all basically tasted like tequila.

 

This must be the next morning in our cabana after a swim in the ocean.

 

This was a chicken concoction that chef Frank in the Azur restaurant whipped up for Sue.

I was not sure this drink contained any alcohol. Some people complain that the drinks are “weak” or “watered down” at resorts in Mexico. To these people, mostly from Milwaukee, I say, “how much booze do you need at 1030 on a Tuesday morning?” If you want a strong drink, you can basically tell the bartender how strong you want it. You would say something like, “In Wisconsin, we usually use an 8 ounce cup as our measuring device instead of a shot class.”

Sometime on Monday, our name placard appeared in place of our room number. No longer were we in room 5030 but instead Suite Berg-Williams.

Here are a couple of our new Ohio friends Darla that we kept running into on the terrace, in the elevator, at the bar, on the beach, etc. Sorry about the blurry photo.

 

This is the Hidden Garden restaurant where we did our 730am yoga.  Look how relaxed Sue looks!
