Two years ago I coined #PoolLife for hanging out by the pool on warm afternoons, preferably for several days in a row in the warm weather, even on work days (taking a one-hour break for work). The term is even more appropriate for this visit to the Waldorf Astoria Pedregal, as we plan to basically hang out in our private plunge pool the whole stay. Except since we're in Mexico it seems like instead of Pool Life we should call it... La Vida Piscina.
When we got back from lunch and a bit of sightseeing and shopping this afternoon we headed straight for the pool. And by "headed" I mean we opened our balcony door and stepped outside. Because that's where our pool is!
We booked this hotel because we knew we could spent entire days basically in our own pool. And that's exactly what we did today, from around 4:30pm until almost 10.
Around 6 our evening guacamole landed. It's a little thing this hotel does: every evening they bring an appetizer of guacamole, chips, and a few beers. Since they know Hawk doesn't drink alcohol (she's allergic), a fact they heard and remembered when we told them at check-in, they put glasses of hibiscus juice on the tray for her. While this tray is meant to be an appetizer for us tonight it's basically dinner. Our late lunch has us still feeling a bit full, even though we ate lightly. It's not worth going out for dinner or going to the cafe downstairs. Remember, this is the home of the $133 "meh"-tasting lunch. (Reviews indicate that the hotel's expensive restaurant has excellent food... but it's at least 3x the price.)
We stayed out late at our pool, only going inside when we were both tired enough for bed. Ahh, #LaVidaPiscina!
