Woke up and grabbed a bite at one of the 5 lovely restaurants here before getting another big day in paradise started. On my 3rd cup of Mexi-Mud I contemplated what extreme sport I should tackle today here at this "all inclusive" resort. Should I parasail? Jet Ski? Boogie board? Get another henna tattoo? Volley ball? Water aerobics? The choices were endless. Threw the rats in the kids club so the ole lady and I could grab the Hobie sponge boards and wreck shop out in the 1' shore break. After running that bad boy up on the beach a dozen or so times it was off to the pool for a bit of r & r, so I thought. Jumped in and right there poolside was a 2 foot long Iguana bathing itself in the sunshine. That killed a half hour. Out of the pool and it was to the lounge chair for a while. Time to finish "Under the Banner of Heaven" book I brought with me. “No seniorita, no cervaca for me yet.” Extreme religion and booze don’t mix. Mind and body fully inspired, they craved something more. Over to Avis for a Jeep rental. Fuck it, time to get the hell out of Middle America's all u-can-eat buffet and do something beside drink myself to death. Strap the 9'5" TDK to the roof, grab the family and in a half hour we were in Punta De Mita. Waves were incredi. 1/2 mile rides at least. And all it took was an $80 Jeep rental.

ReplyDeletebeeoch... i don't believe the rides r that long, even if the conditions are good, you don't have the stamina... unless maybe you're walking back up the beach... no chance you're paddling that far, old man.
