Vacation?

With all of the chaos of work I decided to make the commitment and spend a little cash so we could have a day of sloth. We work with tourists so our own time is usually spent avoiding the same market to the fullest extent possible. The draw of all you can eat buffets, unlimited beachside drinks and full use of non motorized beach sports equipment had cast it's siren song over us. The morning was beautiful, we ran a few errands and were giddy to spend the rest of the day lounging, swimming and being pampered at an all-inclusive resort on a day pass. We got settled on our beach chairs with margarita in hand and we watched our first thunderstorm roll through since we arrived here. I 
guess all of my complaining about the weak storms here finally caught up with me. Honestly it barely rained on us but we didn't put on any sunscreen and we had no hints of having a darker complexion. Luckily we know how to make the best of our situation regardless of the external circumstances. We went kayaking down the deserted coastline of Cozumel, swimming in the Caribbean currents, and watching the local fishermen ignore their chances of reeling in the big one in hopes of catching another glimpse of Steph paddling around without her top on. Working up an appetite I ate one of the largest plates of ceviche I could muster, a hamburger, french fries, nachos, and whatever else could take up real estate on my numerous rotating plates. Every time we found ourselves in a rain shower we speculated on how much fell and tried to drink the likes in margaritas.
During this all we realized we had a lucky charm for our days off, our friend Moises. When we head out with Moises the weather is always amazing, when we are on our own it is a game of craps with loaded dice. When we finally move back to Portland I will have to devise a way for him to live with us January through June.
