she might come home in a table cloth, yea, tequila makes her clothes fall off...
so, the summer began as quite possibly the most boring on record, until last saturday when shannon and i left for a blissful seven days in playa del carmen, mexico.
and i will now share with you a few highlights:
* leaving the pouring rain in boston and arriving to tropical skies in mexico.
* impressing the mexicans with my tequila shot taking abilities four hours into the trip.
* my stomach was sunburned within less than twenty four hours.
* pina coladas well before noon.
* making the pool bar bartenders fall in love with us.
* christian - a beautiful mexican man, who made sure the margaritas kept coming, and that we were well taken care of.
* waking up to nothing but sunshine.
* attracting creepy waiters at the resort with my laugh.
* drinking no less than seven [mexican] margaritas a night and gaining the nickname 'margarita girl' by mid week.
* making best friends with the most important people at the resort (bartenders, waiters, and the manager at the restaurant we ate at every night).
* gaining vip status and getting drinks from the manager without even needing to ask.
* seeing the most beautiful sunsets.
* lounging on the beach at any time of day.
* taking afternoon naps
* watching shannon and some lady from iowa swim in the ocean in their expensive clothing at almost midnight, and then getting soaked in the torrential downpour during our last night.
* learning that even in mexico boobs will get you anything you want.
* seeing that the employees were sad about our departure.
* leaving with a beautiful tan.
all in all an amazing trip and i'd do it all again in a heart beat. one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen.
peace and love.
