The cost of a lift ticket in Aspen


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.

  4. beeoch... 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.

    under the banner... twisted family trees, love thyn ancestors... or is it incestors?
