Kate and I went down at her suggestion to the pool side bar and grill.\u00a0 We sat in lounge chairs and ordered lunch.\u00a0 I didn’t last long.\u00a0 I don’t like the direct sun, nor do I like laying around with other folks who seem only interested in laying out in the sun.\u00a0 This must be some Puritan instinct, but seeing other folks lay in the sun, drinking, then swimming, then eating and drinking and laying about pushes some kind of button.\u00a0 Probably my own fear that I’m as lazy as they appear to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
