BACK STORY:
It was the first beautiful morning since our arrival so we decided to go rent equipment and play tennis. It has been a long time and even though we were both a bit rusty, it felt good to be outside playing again. We played for an hour which was long enough to break a sweat.
After cleaning up we headed to a botanical garden that was near the resort. The garden had been on a private estate. The wife wanted to plant a beautiful garden and although everyone thought that all of the plants that she wanted to plant would die in the climate, her husband humored her allowing her to order whatever she wanted.
Plans were made, holes were dug and trees, shrubs and flowers not native to the area were planted.the plants were tended and have multiplied by great numbers...in fact they thrived!
Our walk through the garden started by running back to the car to put mosquito repellant on! They were thick after the rain and were after anyone that entered their domain. Once we were lathered up we were able to walk and enjoy the scenery. We really did not see anything unusual and the garden seemed over grown and tangled.
We returned to our apartment to repack our suitcases and carry-ons for our trip back to the US.
