back from vacation

Here is a list of the highlights:

  • starting each day with a run or a swim.
  • laughing with friends (old and new)
  • walking on the beach, watching the sunset, and listending to the waves
  • eating Mexican food!
  • eating fresh fruit everyday, multiple times a day
  • eating ice cream (more than I should have, maybe)
  • not wearing a suit or panyhose or uncomfortable shoes for 9 days
  • playing Unlitmate frisbee and getting really really sweaty
  • riding an elephant...my elephant riding partner and I had the best little trainer guy of them all. As we were going along, he crafted a grasshopper out of leaves and gave it to us as a gift. It was great.
  • being warm
And as life goes, you have to take the bad with the good. So the things I didn't like were:
  • mosquitoes! I always wish I could live in a tropical location until I get there and have to deal with these pests!
  • making a Russian lady VERY angry with me for taking a chair by the pool she thought was hers. It really was a scary experience. My friends had my back though.
  • the flight there. I have never been in a smaller airplane seat in my entire life. and I was the shortest of the three of us traveling together.
  • running out of bananas while riding the elephants...they wanted more and so they attacked us with their snotty trunks. It was creepy. They were coming at us from three directions. We screamed like girls...we are girls, but I acted like it on this occasion.
I'll post pictures soon!
