And the rest of the story


... At 52 years old you tie a stone around your waist, walk to a sink hole, and throw yourself in... it's your duty to your family and your culture... and it's a great form of population control...

... Depending on where you live you will either have, ahem, your 4 front teeth pierced... your head crushed by a board till it's flat... your tongue cut in two and tied to your ears... or your eyes forcibly crossed... to show what part of the region you are from... and also... it also wasn't a bad way of population control...

... Younger than 18 you play an aggressive form of basketball... the winner gets to die... second place does the honors...

... And you predict world wars, presidential assassinations, and the end of the world in 2012...


We had...

... Double beds... so we changed rooms... but it was raining... and that room was flooded... with only 2 towels... BUT... it gave us Awesome waves...


We almost...

... bought a time-share (but it’s not a time-share)... got an upgrade, but no rooms available... had our laundry done, but left forced with nasty disgusting bed sheets that smelled like feet and had stains, and still have stains... but yet... almost had our spot taken, except big dudes with UFC cutoffs and barbwire tattoes saved our space in line after 35+ people try to cut in on the restaurant... "I never wait for anything, they wait for me"...‘umm... no, those guys there were first’...


We forgot...

... everything we ever learned about math... cause they said 9 restaurants and we could only count 3, sometimes 2, sometimes 1...

... and somehow 1 Mayan dollar equals $25 American... "almost free! one dollar! buy something for your honeymoon? no! oh... buy something for your mother-in-law!?"... and yet they still thought we might steal something at the flea market!... "Look at this watch! Does it look like I’m gonna steal anything!?"...


We took...

... an art class... as Danelle’s artistic skills with the sun scream made me a beautiful sunburn...


We..

... "Would you like to come to the bathroom with me"... wait... wha!?


We only...

... Only cried in 4 movies this time... wore shorts and sandals... and, can you believe it, skirts...


We...

... suntanned on the balcony... suntanned by the pool... suntanned on the beach... read 6 books... Flooded the bathtub... went Cliff-diving... boating... snorkelling... had the coral reef incident... "I’m more of a follow the rules kinda person... so, you wouldn’t like it if I did THIS!"... thought we saw a shark... got stalked by boys with guns... took a romantic walk around the pool... twice... almost got massages... twice... bought $25 Aloe Vera... bought 5 $5 bracelets... bought necklaces... bought another bracelet... is that a ring... do you like this... what do you think about this... "Hello, my name is Danelle, and I’m a shopping addict"...
