In the morning, we packed up our belongings and checked out of Costa del Oro. When we went downstairs to the office, there was no one there to help us check out. Finally, we located the lady of the house out near the pool. Despite…

DINNER 50: Sunday, February 19, 2006

Tonight’s meal wasn’t really a meal at all. We were told by our friend Tracy that we simply had to sample the tiramisu at Caesar’s Palace, under the artificial sunrise and sunset. We made our way to Bertolini’s and sat ‘outside’ near the giant, beautiful (noisy)…
