![]() The optimal Zen chat options from Day 5-7 were quite stupid, yes, but Days 8 and onwards were a joy to play. Speaking of which, hats off to for making the payoff with Zen’s route super satisfying. Also, it was cute to see all the RFA members rally around Zen and his problems, and then rally to help the MC after the bomb threat was discovered. Echo Girl’s false accusations of sexual misconduct are rather interesting given all the conversation today, over two years later, surrounding sexual assault and Hollywood. ![]() I did enjoy the relatively lighthearted (if overly dramatic) conflict that the game threw at me during his route though, as well as its resolution. Also, starting Day 5 (when I’d “locked in” his route), the optimal choices to continue down his route felt super awkward - there’s no way I would be whining about how much I missed some guy in a chatroom full of strangers after just a few days of meeting the dude online! But he’s also the world’s biggest narcissist - and to “beat” his route, I quickly realized that you have to constantly feed his ego, and that got annoying super fast. Zen’s a sweetheart, and I love all the selfies that the game threw at me. ![]() ![]() Silly premise aside, I stumbled across Zen’s route like most first time players, and…oh, man. You (the MC) download an app on a whim, go to a strange apartment on a whim, meet a bunch of people online, and are suddenly put in charge of coordinating with guests for a charity party in 11 days? Practically everyone I know has heard of Mystic Messenger - the crazy visual novel that everyone was talking about back in 2016. ![]()

Set on a beautiful golf course with only one resort near it, you are literally left with a feeling of utter peacefulness. The Resort: This resort is the most gorgeous, peaceful, and quiet resort we have been at, by far. ![]() We are not activity orientated vacationers. Our style of vacay is plunk down on the beach, read lots of books, and recharge our batteries. Even though the food and drink were a major disappointment we still had a great time.īackground: This is our 3rd Secrets resort (Huatulco & Puerto Vallarta x2) and we love this brand so much that we joined the Unlimited Vacation Club last year. And, if you want the premium liquor you should specify or you will get "well". The Mai Tai I had was not even close to any version of the real thing (because it requires fresh ingredients). As for the drinks - none of the mixers used were made with fresh juices or scratch made ingredients. You will not starve as there are some decent things to eat (actually the buffet was some of the best food we had during our stay) but the main restaurants are nowhere near world class. However, if your main interest is food and drink and know what good food and drink are and what it takes to make you will be disappointed with Secrets in Cabo. The beach and beach bar were a very nice place to relax. The grounds, hotel, and facilities are beautiful and well cared for. There are a lot of things we really liked about the resort. I would have given 3.5 but that is not an option and I do not believe it deserves a 4. This was the way the majority of the staff was here. I asked him if that was part of his job? He answered not generally but he said that if any guests need anything that if he could do something about he would make it happen. Well 20 minutes later he shows up at our door with a full case of water. We are big bottled water drinkers and the mini bar only holds 4, as I was coming out of my room I ran into the security guy and asked where I could get some more, he said he would make sure it was taken care of. I regret that I didn’t get the name of the security guy that was working building 2 our first day. Thank You turndown crew, you are awesome. They did the entire bed and room in rose petals, filled our tub with some great bubbles and just made it perfect. Our 25th anniversary is not until Feb 19, I ran down to the front desk earlier in the day of our last night and asked if there was anything special that I could have done for my wife. GREAT TIME!!!! Housekeeping was top notch, our room was cleaned each day, floors mopped, shower cleaned and beds made perfectly. The bartenders were great, they made good drinks and would make anything you wanted. My wife and I are not generally night owls but on one night we went to the dance club Desires, we had a tremendous time in there dancing and listening to music, the DJ would play all requests and made it really fun. We had a great time watching the evening shows. We did the Hydra spa and I would Highly recommend it. This was our only negative of the entire stay. It was horribly Slow, to many waiters not paying attention to anyone and not taking care of the patrons. ![]() The only complaint we had the entire trip was the service in Portafino. All the restaurants that we ate in were very good. The Market Cafe was great it filled us up every morning and every lunch we ate there. ![]() The staff is always friendly, never once did we pass an employee and not receive an hola or hello the entire time we were there. ![]() ![]() ![]() The spikes of white flowers that burst forth each summer are a bonus. The teardrop-shaped, variegated leaves on this drought-tolerant succulent ( Sedum album) turned red in autumn. It spreads quickly in filtered light but can also take full sun.

Spring brings many bright, yellow, daisy-like. Creeping thyme is a perennial species of thyme that grows horizontally rather than vertically, and forms a matlike ground cover two to three inches tall and up to 24 inches across. It spreads into a tight, low-growing ground cover that is 4 to 6 inches high. Goldenstar ( Chrysogonum virginianum, Zones 58) is an elegant, long-lived, native ground cover with dazzling yellow blossoms scattered over a rich, green carpet of leaves.

Forming a dense, ground-hugging mat of tiny evergreen leaves, creeping thyme is ideal for use as a foot-friendly groundcover to fill gaps between stepping. The abundant purple flowers of Mazus reptans, also known as creeping blue,bloom in mid-spring and remain through early summer. Goldenstar blooms bright and spreads steadily. Here are 9 Drought-Tolerant Ground Covers for Shade: 1. Dianthus ‘Sternkissen’Ī variety of the moderately spreading Dianthus gratianopolitanus, featuring blue-green foliage and clove-scented pink flowers. It’s an aggressive grower with tiny, pale fernlike leaves and small green-gold flowers in mid-spring. The moisture-loving Leptinella gruverican withstand some morning light. Bonus: it’s also one of the sweetest-smelling. Lily of the ValleyĬonsider this one of the easier perennial ground covers, namely because it can bloom in partial shade with moist soil. The towering purple buds make an appearance starting in the late summer and into the fall. LiriopeĬommonly known as lilyturf, all four species of these grass-like blooms are perennials. These creeping perennial species show off colorful flowers in tinges of blue, pink. Their common name refers to the way the hen-like plant grows tiny rosettes around its main plant-like a hen caring for baby chicks. Creating a Wild Backyard Ground Covers Creeping phlox (Phlox stolonifera). All you have to do to take care of a creeping thyme lawn is fight the instinct to water it. The Latin name, sempervivum means “live forever,” which should give you a sense of how these tough, drought-resistant plants hold up. Creeping thyme is susceptible to root drowning and edema, which is why the soil should be moist or dry. “It’s also an evergreen perennial, which means it’ll have visual interest in the winter as well.” 6. “If you plant a lime green foliage around it, that not only makes the black grass pop the green foliage also looks even brighter,” says Nolan. Black Mondo Grassīlack foliage might not be your first choice, but when you see how beautiful this grass is, you might change your mind. “It’s this really beautiful blend of orange, fuschia, and white colors.” 5. “‘Firespinner’ is one of the lovelier varieties,” says Nolan. But don't worry-it’s worth the wait! Also, you should keep the area weeded and water regularly in the first season, especially if it’s dry, to help the plants get established.This low-growing plant features succulent, spreading leaves, and striking flowers that open in the sunshine and close when it’s shadier. Planting about six to eight inches apart will help fill the area quickly, though it can take a few years to achieve a dense mat. Now that it’s time to plant, take these care tips into consideration: The closer together you space individual plants, the faster an area will fill in. It's also important to make sure it can survive winters in your USDA Hardiness zone (find yours here). Shade means an area doesn’t get direct sunlight, or only some morning sun. Full sun is considered six or more hours of direct sunlight per day part sun is about half that. When choosing a ground cover, pay attention to how much sun the area receives. Ground cover plants are also great for fixing tricky bare spots in your yard! Many ground covers will bloom low-maintenance flowers, too, attracting pollinators such as butterflies and bees. Whether it’s a spot under trees where the grass won’t grow or a hillside that needs erosion control, ground cover plants are the solution! These landscaping problem solvers typically don’t mind poor soil or harsh conditions, and they’re an attractive way to fill in between stepping stones or along sidewalks and landscape beds. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other dishes which serve the needs of the health conscious include the pollo a la plancha, a large boneless pounded then grilled chicken breast, served with veggies and starch, or if you prefer a double side of simply boiled-for-a-baby zucchini and carrots. ![]() ![]() In this case the smokiness from the firewood used to heat and melt the toppings was a dominant essence. Ordered as a meal it comes with traditional tlayuda, an oversized tortilla topped with queso, quesillo, avocado, lettuce and tomato, and then with a healthy piece of flavorful tasajo placed atop. Rather than with a thick mix of corn starch as base, it was surprisingly light and not gooey, including the requisite squash along with the plant's blossom and runners and portion of corn. The sopa de guias, usually a reliable and always a typical dish was in fact better than how it is generally encountered. So if you stick to the recommendations herein, and trust that there will be ongoing consistency in terms the ability of patrons to discern flavor combinations, freshness and keeping grease and fat under control, the percentage likelihood of each guest having a positive memorable dining experience could elevate to 90. On this occasion perhaps 75% of what the four of us ordered could be described as good, but no more. But then again prudent use of labor has never characterized the Oaxacan worldview. If the mezcal tasting bar and gift shop were open on a consistent basis (there's certainly enough staff milling about to warrant hours of operation similar to that of the restaurant) one could understand the initial tardiness. Once drinks finally arrive, the wait for the complimentary memelitas and the rest of the meal is not unreasonable. The comfortable and relaxed atmosphere together with our recollection of usually reliable fare constitute the allure. It's the expansive courtyard with comfortable breezes, the choice of seating in sun or shade, soft music broken only by the sounds of parrots vying for your attention, and pleasing and unique (for Oaxaca) décor, partially antique with vintage photos of Mexican screen stars, 50's and earlier typewriters and other collectibles, alongside traditional Oaxacan with a mix of crafts and more customary wall art adorning the patio floors and walls respectively. We've been frequenting the eatery on an occasional basis for perhaps 7 or 8 years now, and keep doing so. El Patio Restaurant El Patio Restaurant Review, Tlacolula, Oaxaca by Alvin Starkman of Casa Machayaīetween the Oaxacan rug village of Teotitlán del Valle and the Sunday market town of Tlacolula, en route to the Zapotec ruin of Mitla, one finds El patio, a restaurant of contrasts and inconsistencies, intriguing because somehow the open air setting and general ambience is apt to draw you back every once in a while, notwithstanding that there are other restaurants along that stretch of road with more to offer in terms of reliability. ![]() ![]() ![]() By that, they are excellent tents for everyone, even tall campers.

Five aircraft then completed a ten-month 1,500 flying hour test program to gain certification for commercial operation. The Boeing 747 design was such a departure from the technology then in use that it took 75,000 engineering drawings and 15,000 hours of wind tunnel testing to come up with the first Boeing 747 prototype. Terminal gate areas also had to be widened to accommodate the greater wing span, as well as passenger assembly areas now needed to be able to accommodate two to three times as many passengers as previously. Boeing for their part equipped the 747 with 18 wheels to enable a better distribution of weight. ![]() The introduction of this much larger aircraft caused its own headaches for airport operators, for instance, runways had to be strengthened. The distinctive bubble atop the front of the fuselage accommodates the flight deck and in the first 747s during the 1960s, there would be a first-class lounge in the rear of the bubble which was accessed by a circular staircase.įollowing the oil crisis of the early 1970s, many airlines opted for foregoing the upstairs lounge and replacing this with extra seating to try and offset the higher fuel-driven operating costs. The Boeing 747 on its main deck has two aisles where typically the economy cabin has a seat configuration of three seats on each window side and four seats in the centre, known as 3-4-3. This demise was also hastened by the downturn in travel caused by Covid 19.īeing the first wide-body aircraft ever built, the Boeing 747 was the result of the demands of growing trans-continental(USA) and trans-oceanic travel markets in the 1960s. The Boeing 747 was the Queen of Skies for near on 50 years and has now all but disappeared as the large, more economical twin jets take over. ![]() |
