He dropped me right by the collectivo “station”  as they call it. I like to call it…the side of the road.

I took a seat up front and thought it would have to totally fill up before someone would sit next to me. Nope! This clown in a sombrero with a duffel bag thought would be a great spot to put his bag and crowd me up against the window while he had plenty of room to spread out

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I got in the he collectivo at 2:25. I was back at 3:10.

[Saint Greg]

I didn’t see a bus so I decided to start walking

 

Some looks at the thrill park which seems to be COVID closed 

[Saint Greg]

[Saint Greg]

This is the point of no return for the bus. I look and don’t see one so I opt to complete the walk.

I was walking right by the buffet so I decided to see if was open. It was. For live stations they had a meat one that has chicken, lamb, pork chops, or prime rib. I grabbed a prime rib. I don’t know what it that grill temp was, but He toasted this pretty quick.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

They also had a live seafood cooking station with swordfish, squid, mussels, etc.

 

[Saint Greg]

And a pasta station.

[Saint Greg]

I grabbed chocolate and coconut cake

[Saint Greg]

But then i saw some better looking desserts on the way to the table so I grabbed some of them.

 

I just took one bite of each. Except that cream puff thing. I ate all of that.

Spicy bloody mary

I stopped by the pool bar on the way back to the room and ordered two banana daiquiris. He poured me the strawberry out of the machine. I said banana daiquiri. He says daiquiri. I say banana. He says not strawberry? I say no. Banana. He gets like a supervisor or someone who tells him how to make a banana daiquiri.

 

[Saint Greg]

And I’ve been back in the room drinking daiquiris and watching baseball.

Amazing when you realize how long ago these were built.

Yes. It makes me wonder what the native Americans were doing. Teepees, wigwams…c’mon. Get with the program.

Does anyone have any opinions on this menu? This is where I got the Wellington the other day. I was thinking the lobster, caviar, salmon salad, shrimp cappuccino, and creme brulee or crepes.

If it is done properly it has an amazing taste and texture very very good!
