Welcome to the Bahia Principe San Juan
| 
Front entrance of the resort.
|
Out on the "Strip" Drinks at the casino were not included in our AI package..no problemo..just walk across the street, pick up a drink and voila!!!
I gambled away $5 there.....took about 33 seconds.
The casino did have the best washrooms on the strip
| 
Some of the shops on the "Strip"
| 
|
| 
| 
The grounds were really pretty!!
|
| 
The big pool!! The towel game was in full force here. Some friends would get up early and snag us some spots.
| 
|
The lobby. Wish they would have turned on those ceiling fans!!
| 
The pool on the Golden Side.
Again........the towel game......sigh..
Most of those loungers were vacant for the better part of the day.
| 
|
| 
After we rounded the corner from the resort.......looking back.
| 
Ahhhhhhhhh..beautiful!!
|
The Diamond Club Pool. We snuck in there but it was pretty boring.
Plus, I was sitting right under a coco-palm. I moved. It would be just my luck that one would fall and hit me in the head.
| 
The vendor shops....just off the resort.....on the way to Campo Tours.
| 
Oh.......view from our balcony.
|
Our room...top right.
| 
The piano bar....also served yummo Capuccinos.....once they finally opened in the morning.
| 
Another shot of the big pool.
|
Felix's dog.
Well, one of his dogs.
| 
Camp Tours!!!
I think we were there everyday.
Felix was a smoooooooth salesman.
And he gave us rum drinks. Drew called them "part with your pesos" drinks.....as every day we seemed to be carrying bags of stuff back home.
| 
Canvases available at Felix's/Campo Tours.
|
Felix's bar.......which was supposed to be open our second day.........
It never actually opened...but he always seemed to have the "part with your pesos" drinks ready. Hmmmm
| 
| 
|
| 
| 
Felix, Andrew and me
|
| 
Ahhhhhh....life is good!!
And so is this Tequila Sunrise!!
| 
Off on the Jeep Tour!! It was a bumpy trip.
|
The countryside. Very beautiful!!
| 
| 
|
| 
| 
|
| 
| 
|
| 
Cutie!!
| 
Uh-oh...the milk is boiling over.
|
Cute kidlets!!
| 
And cute piglets!!
Of course we had to wade through lots of caca to see them.
| 
Coconut Man!
|
Rooster!!
That is a rooster, isn't it?
Not really up on my farm animals.
| 
Pretty flower.
Finally got to use the macro setting on my camera!!
| 
Bananas grow UP!! I did not know that.
|
| 
He was attempting to hypnotize the rooster......or whatever kind of bird that is.
| 
|
| 
| 
This is where they filmed Jurassic Park. Very pretty countryside.
|
| 
We stopped for some dance lessons.
| 
This little one was beyond cute!!!
|
| 
Nice beach that we stopped at!!
| 
|
| 
| 
|
Drew with some beach dogs. They were very friendly and seemed very healthy......for beach dogs.
| 
| 
Freshwater lake. Beautiful!! Crystal clear.
|
| 
| 
|
| 
| 
Crazy local kids jumping down the waterfall.
And the way they would climb back up over the rocks.....like little spidermen.
It was amazing to watch.
|
| 
| 
|
Playa Grande..it is 7km long.
Really would have liked to spend more time here......the waves were fun!! And the sand......silky smooth.
| 
| 
Beach dogs are the same everywhere.....not a care in the world
|
Mexican Restaurant....after the tequila poppers.
| 
Some pics from our beach walkabout. We walked a long ways...not a soul in sight. Nice.

Iguana anyone?
He was very soft and silky feeling.
I am amazed there are any pictures as the person in charge of the camera is afraid of lizards......LOL

I have kissed too many frogs....I draw the line at lizards.
