We rise to another beautiful day. We decide to hike up Boynton
Canyon before the temperature gets too high. From our room, we walk downhill,
to Enchantments Road, then across the creek bed and past the spa. We turn north
and after a few minutes, Amy stops me and quietly points to my left. I just walked
right past a deer, grazing, about 6 feet away.

Successfully avoiding startling the deer, we continue on to
the trailhead and head up Boynton Canyon.

After a half hour of hiking, we turn around and head back to
the trailhead and the lodge. We hit the Grab
and Go Stand for coffee. Amy has a granola parfait, Wayne has a croissant.
We next head back to the room to clean up from our hike and figure out what to
do next. Bocce or Croquet? Tennis? Swimming Pool!
We spend most of the next 4 hours at the pool. Lunch was a
sushi bowl for Wayne and a Salad with Chicken for Amy. It is really lovely by
the pool, but the wind picks up a bit and the attendants have to remove all the
smaller portable umbrella shades. Sad, because now Wayne has to find shade.
Life can be really tough, sometimes.
Mid-afternoon, we head back to the room to rest up from our
exertions before dinner. Then we head back to the Tii Gavo restaurant to enjoy a low-key meal of Tacos for Wayne and the
Margherita Flatbread for Amy. We share a generous portion of chips and
guacamole. It is going to be tough to leave this place tomorrow.
