There was a lot of moisture on the ground and plenty of cloud coverage. It looked as though rain was eminent and the weather report\u00a0forecasted\u00a0that it will last several days. Since we have already paid for 4 nights, we decided to just play it by ear. Going home during the day and sleeping here at night was always our plan. If it rains on us it just means the afternoon beach days are out of the question.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Not looking beautiful outside. by mali mish, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/danlin\/5272522513\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5126\/5272522513_dd5716ab1b.jpg\" alt=\"Not looking beautiful outside.\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right Mila, that is the Pacific ocean your sister was complaining about being too close last night.

Although we decided to spend our nights there each night, we did not get to spend any more time at the beach this time around.
