Riviera Maya Vacation - Part Three

When in Mexico and it happens to be Sunday......well......of course you want to wear your football team hat and jersey........and I did. I watched the game between the Patriots and the Ravens on the big screen in the Sports bar. There were some Patriots fans and some Steelers fans.......and at least one Bears fan and one pain in the ass Packers fan. The Packers fan somehow managed to get the bartender to change the channel on the big screen to the Packers game........which the majority of people did NOT want to see.........it was halftime and I wasn't gonna stand for that. I went to the bartender and had him change it back to the Ravens game. Four tv screens and one big screen projection tv..........the game to see should be on the big screen......right? Well.......the Packers fan wasn't very happy that the bartender changed it back to the Ravens game and he got really vocal about it. Let's just say that "we had words".......and I went to my seat which was in front of where the Packers fan was sitting..........and I did the appropriate thing..........I turned my cap around and wore it so that the Packers fan had to look at the Ravens logo......hehehe. The Ravens ended up losing the game.......but it was a good game..........the Patriots fans in the Sports Bar were very happy........the Steelers fans?.....well........who cares about them?...hehehe.

When you are not on the beach or in one of the pools, or not in the Sports Bar, you need to walk around and take notice and absorb some of the really cool and unusual things to see while at the Grand Palladium resort. For example, at the front entrance of the Colonial Lobby is a waterfall located in a small lake which is loaded with ducks, swans, and flamingos.

Also......near the buffet restaurant and the shops, there is a fenced off area that contains crocodiles.

I don't know why but flamingos always stand on one leg.

And they always peck at themselves.


There is one thing that I would bet that most visitors might not take notice of while here.

The crop of blue agave located next to the church.......yes......the church....located in an area behind the Sports Bar.

Blue agave.............you know what blue agave is?

.......well.........it just so happens that TEQUILA is made from blue agave.

Stay tuned......there is more to come.
