Cabo continued . . .


Okay, my thorough attention to picture taking could only last so long. So . . . instead, we'll have random stories from our trip thus far.

1. While I was so grateful to have an exit row seat w/ a seat between D and me, it was quite interesting taking an international flight w/ a crew that I'm thinking hadn't ever taken one. The flight attendants were clueless as to what forms we needed to fill out to get into Mexico. We all made it through but definitely seemed to annoy the Mexican customs rep.

2. Oh, Wal-Mart. Yes, in my attempt to save money, we went to Wal-Mart to purchase staples. I have been to Wal-Mart now only twice in the past two years and I'd like to keep it that way, but boy, you sure can get some cheap groceries there! (We did this on our honeymoon, too.)

3. We've been here almost five nights. I still don't know my room number. I don't think I have any short term memory. At this point, I'm pretty sure our waiter at our favorite pool has a better idea of my room number than I do . . . hum . . . that is not good.

4. I discovered as we were listening to a band at dinner a couple of nights ago that my husband thinks Willie Nelson sings "Amazing Grace". While true that we've seen Willie Nelson sing "Amazing Grace" live, I think we're probably officially not permitted in any Southern Baptist Church based on his Willie comment. Might not even be able to go to any southern funerals.

5. The beginning of every conversation w/ someone new (At least when David is in charge - remember I still say I'm from Atlanta) - The new friend: Where are you from? David: Memphis. Our new friend: Ahh, the home of Elvis??

6. The internet signal is only strong at the bars. We're pretty sure this is not a coincidence.

7. I'm so grateful for the exposure my brother and Mom gave me to this Mexican and Guatemalan cultures. Because of it, I do not get irritated when no one who is waiting on me has near the urgency that I think they should have.

8. As w/ the last post, please ignore my typos!
