Punta Cana and a rant
Punta Cana was beautiful! It only rained a little bit the last 2 days or so. Besides that, perfect weather. I learned a little bit of spanish. Not enough to hold a conversation but I know how to order a drink without ice....and gracias....and hola...and a few other things. I SWAM WITH DOLPHINS! SO MUCH FUN! And you know those two wheeler thingys that security guards ride in airports that you just want to take from them so you can get to your gate faster? Segways? Well my family and I went on a Segway tour! SO MUCH FUN! They're so easy to ride! You just lean in the direction you'd like to go! I also went parasailing....TWICE! SOOO COOOL! It's one of those things that's terrifying while you're up there but when you get down it was the COOLEST THING EVERRR! It's like riding in a hot air balloon...without the basket. :-D
Oh so one day we were sitting by the pool and this guy comes over to us and says in his broken english something along the lines of how we should go over to the other side of the towel bar because they're having a bartending lesson. So yes, I learned how to make some drinks. I made a Splash. I couldn't tell you now what was in it...but it was fun. And, Jon, I remembered sorta how to do the flair you taught me, so I did it with the juice which was in a water bottle. (Dad took pictures...and a video of me shaking the...shaker mixer thing...)
So I have a burn on my back in the shape of a palm tree...sorta...the branches anyway....damn naps in the sun...
Met some cool people. Everyone was Jewish and 18...it seemed. Met 2 people who were 20...but that was the closest to 21 I got. Meh, close enough. Oh, they also refer to me as the prude...because of the the guys (Zach - 18 - from Manhattan but is Israeli) kissed me one night but I wouldn't let it go further than that. Mostly because I don't know him, he's much younger than me, and he said I was beautiful 5 times and then said, "Do I need to tell you a sixth time that you're beautiful?" I told him to just stop talking. Normally I'd be ok being complimented but that was such a line. I just found out he hooked up with (more than kissing) a 15 year old girl the night after I left. Am I wrong to think that's gross? My sisters seem to think I should have done more with him because it's vacation and I'll never see him again. I still think it's wrong. And I am never again going to fall for lines.
I'm broken though. I can't/don't like anyone...and then when/if I do, I all of a sudden don't and want out immediately. And if something starts to happen, I think everything is a line, freak out, and abandon ship. GRAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I'm broken. *makes silly face* I need to release the beast.
