We have filled our days at the Atlantis with tubing the not-so-lazy river where a wave machine creates tidal waves that wash your intertube down the river, riding down tube slides and body slides that take you through the shark tank, and swimming in the ocean. Not too shabby. I was worried about finding food the first day, because this crazy hotel is SO big and we did not have a map to find food. But since then, we have eaten exceptionally well. We have had nice breakfasts, lunch by the pool, and Italian and Caribbean fare for dinner. Asian is on the menu for tomorrow evening.
Although our room is as far away as possible from the water events, it is very excluded and quiet and we have had completely uninterrupted sleep. I had to wake both rooms of kids (college and elementary) up at 10am this morning. The sun is very exhausting apparently.
We have found the Bahamian workers (including lifeguards) to walk around with quite a swagger and generally have an attitude. They are relatively polite and helpful if approached. However, the lifeguards tend to pay more attention to each other and their own ladies, than to actually saving anyone from drowning.
This evening Chris, Kala, Wyatt, Graham, and Owen dressed up in white shirts and tan pants for the typical beach picture. I waited a little late, and the pics are a little dark, but some of them are still very sweet. People stared at us after we entered the building as we were all dressed in matching costumes. We were with a movie star (Don was mistaken for Colombian actor Victor Cabrera), so we enjoyed the attention.
