This hotel has a large (very large- y'all know what I'm sayin'?) group of ladies who are 'advancing the Kingdom of God'. There is an equally large group of 'international faith group of swimmers'. Good to know our spiritual needs are being looked after.

Also, three lovely brothers from Florida on their own road trip on their gorgeous motorbikes. They are enjoying what they called a 'military breakfast'. i. e. a cup of coffee and a fag.
