Moments before dawn the skies were ominous and the sunrise sucked. There were dark clouds obscuring any pretty view. Luckily, it wasn’t raining.

That is, until I arrived at the golf course. The good news was there was a beautiful rainbow as the sun broke through the clouds.

The bad news is the rain continued on for the first 9 holes. The pro shop attendant let me know I could reschedule if I don’t tee off on #1. First of all, a little rain won’t stop me playing golf, and secondly, it’s now or never. I can’t play tomorrow, and have already paid for a round on Thursday. Anyway, it was a good round. No complaints, besides the usual.

On of the first holes. I like the clouds in the mountains

Lunch at the pool after a couple of local beers, a dip in the ocean.

Tropical Açaí Bowl with bananas, papaya, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple and strawberry syrup. The surprise was the generous portion of açaí ice as the base.
