Encounters with people


I spent a lot of time just enjoying the nature, but I also really enjoyed meeting different people.
I especially liked this method of communication that was practiced by many others, not just me. It’s when somebody asks you something in a language that you don’t know (like Italian, for example), and you respond in a language they don’t know (like English). And yet somehow everyone understands each other.
It was a memorable moment when I noticed an interaction between a very tipsy Russian and a very tipsy American (such a cliche). It was so entertaining, especially since their conversation was about music.


The most interesting thing that I got to witness among people was weddings. There was this whole succession of weddings. During the day, you could see no less than five weddings on the beach. This continued throughout the whole week.


When I noticed this photo session in progress, my inner paparazzi had awakened. I really like the background that the scene was shot in front of. Hooray for Photoshop! I can guess that, in a glossy magazine, there wouldn’t be that half-finished building. The model was very gorgeous.

A photographer and his assistant are offering to take a picture with parrots.

Time for a dance class


These are two ways of traveling around the hotel property.


If anybody recognizes themselves or their friends in the pictures and gets really angry, I post a photo of me that my husband took with his iPhone to make you feel better.
