Peaceful early morning breakfast in our courtyard, then a walk through Moorten Botanical Garden yesterday. A little early (or late?) for cactus bloom, but the bougainvillea at its peak right now.
Not quite so peaceful last night. The nice thing about our room is we are next to the pool. The bad thing about our room is that we are next to the pool.
A group of women set up camp outside the door and partied on, even though they ask guests please keep the noise down after 8 pm. This is such a small intimate inn, sound really carries, and there's no staff on site here at night...oh well. Wherever you go, the world has become so darn loud.
Anyway, we're off on a quiet hike this morning. A poolside nap in order for afternoon. Looks like a perfect blue sky day with temps in the 80's.
I had a similar noise problem, only machinery and traffic noise from a freeway.(Why is it that in the middle of the night young guys on Japanese motorcycles insist on gunning their motors like they're doing motocross and make them sound like loud cheap chain saws?) This is why God gave us music aps, Bluetooth and earbuds. I slept quite well with a sleep mask on(light polution), with earbuds in and the internet radio app on my phone playing Soma FM's Drone Zone all night. If you can find an affordable set of Bluetooth earbuds that will stay in your ears during sleep (I have) that will hold an 8-hour charge (the phone you can keep on charger, but not the headphones because cords), you've got it made in the shade. In fact, that's the setup I was using during the 3 hours it took for my chemo infusion today, snoozing in the recliner with my mind lost in the music.
