We've done an excellent job of soaking up our last days of rest and relaxation. Most of today was spent by the pool (after Dave's run, of course). I've borrowed a book from the hotel and have been deeply enthralled in the tale. Before poolside lounging, we experienced one of the coolest things on our trip - a fish foot spa. You may have read about it, or even experienced it if you don't live in Washington where it has been deemed illegal. Essentially, you put your feet into what looks like a crowded fish tank and they give you the most interesting, refreshing foot spa treatment you've ever experienced. It's quite the trip, especially when they start nibbling between your toes - feels so weird! The fish are drawn to dead skin cells but don't have any teeth so they basically suck of the dead cells and help with cell regeneration. It sounds completely hokey, I know. That said, both Dave's and my feet felt absolutely amazing after letting the fish have at our feet for 15 mins. Dave took a great video of when he first put his feet into the tank. It was like the fish were having Christmas in June.
At lunch I ordered a large beer and Dave ordered a small. After lunch, we switch roles and I ordered a coffee and he ordered a coffee with milk. We giggled. We might be the only ones who giggle at this.....
After lounging by the pool we got awesome massages - the best yet on our trip. Then, we went to dinner at a Tapas restaurant. Tasty and not quite as large as the traditional Portuguese meal.
