March 10, 2018. Playa Royale, Mexico. 3601.

Fifteen feet makes a big difference.  Right in front of our new balcony we see the leaves of a palm tree.  When we first began living at Playa Royale, Ken and I noted that the first 2 or 3 floors would have no view, because of all the palm trees.  But the trees have grown so the lower floors have no obstruction of their view.  Now the 4th, 5th and 6th floor get to see the palm trees.  We wonder how high these trees grow.  Next year the palm trees may be right in front of us on the balcony of 3701.

This unit 3601 is exactly as ours at 3701, except this unit has never changed.  We walked into a time capsule.  Everything is exactly as it was years ago.  We do not know who owns this unit but we suspect it is owned by Playa Royale or Paradise Village.  All the 4 televisions are old while ours in 3701 in the living room is new.  The furniture is original as are the accoutrements in the bathrooms.  And there are no personal items on the top shelf in the kitchen.  No wine glasses and no plastic glasses.  We are 15 feet below our 3701 so we look out at exactly the same view, but everything appears just a bit different, even when I walk on the balcony.  We four  are surprised how different everything appears to be.  Interesting.   In the years when Ken and I walked the C&O Canal, we noted that walking back to our starting place afforded us a different view.  It was almost like walking a different path.  The same is true now.  The view is similar but different, just like everything else in life.  When you turn a corner, everything changes.  It is called the spice of life.
