Centre of the Universe

-
Our Crazy Train went to the centre of the universe!
I had new glasses to pick up and Dave seemed to be impatient to leave. Finally he admitted he had a surprise for me. So off we went and I had no idea where we were going. 
Low and behold we ended up at the giant golf ball on top of the mountain.
 Yes the observatory. It has a working telescope and is one of two  Dominion Astrophisical Observitories. First opened in 1918.
 And there were tours.

It is still 🔥🌞🌞🔥 Every morning at 8:30 this playground fills up with noisy children. It's our walk up call. What a joyful noise to wake up to. This picture is from our front window. The breakfast restaurant is right under the green. Our room has a 'balcony' which translate to sliding balcony doors with a waist high plexiglass barrier so you can't leave the room. Our day was spent at the resort. Lots of relaxing in the shade 😎, eating 🍝, and happy hours 🍷🍸🍹🍺.            Loving all inclusive! Dave found this great 3-D wall muriel that I had not noticed.  A close up. Last day was most relaxing!                          🎇 🎇 🎇

It's still 🔥🔥🔥. Went for a walk saw these. Walked to the pharmacy for this. Because this And this. Bought a day  late! Spent the rest of the day in  the shade. Day drinking and eating. I love all inclusive resorts. The bartender ran after me to return my sandals.  In the evening we went for our specialty dinner. We had  Shrimp Salad to start. A little short on shrimp but amazing presentation. Next soup. Dave had Pumpkin and  I had Lime. Simply named but both exquisite. Main. Dave had the Fish and I had the Chicken. Dave loved his said it was spicy. Mine unbelievable. Chicken breast stuffed with spinach with a slightly sweet sauce and pureed carrot. We chose the coffee mousse for dessert and they played Happy Birthday when they they served Dave's. They lite the candle at the table.                   🌞🌞🌞

It's still 🔥🌞🌞🔥 Liverpool is a Bay like department store in a mall. The kind where the stores are inside and it's air conditioned.  Lots of brand names that are recognizable. Price for a party dress. The mall 2 levels  Walked to Walmart prices slightly less than at home about 5%. Even the produce. We had less trouble finding the bus stop. Asked several bus drivers if they were going to Nuevo Vallarta before we found the right one. The day finished with lunch, beer, naps, supper, and a bad John Wayne movie! PS Had this for breakfast It was vert good This is what it is                      🚌 🚌 🚌
