Ok, yesterday really hurt. I woke up hurting but decided to pick up Laurie and head over to BC BBQ. We grabbed a golfcart and headed over to BC's. Wonderful place, lots of friendly expats, I didn't even know that we had stopped by there the night before. They remembered me though. BBQ was good, filling. Owner (forgot her name) was so sweet. Met Ronmyway (Rich) and Mickey and others. We ended up going to Palapa and having a ball. Had a good drink there(?), the panty ripper. KC (the owner) cracked me up. Took the hand ferry over, kept thinking I love this place. The children in AC were so beautiful. They had an innerpeace that was contagious.

You are right Becky: your father didn't raise no quitter! You forgot to tell them that we were told "no drinking and driving in the golf carts" by another traveler. Ha ha. Left the palapa bar dancing on the back of the golf cart. Yahooo.

Laurie

Laurie, you were one of the best parts of this trip, I will never forget you. You and that sand-digging dance were a hoot. I love that whole theory of if you wake up in the morning and you are hurting from the previous evening, grab a shot of tequilla(tekillya). I thought you had lost your mind when you told me to do it and then it kind of grew on me. Do you think that rasta-man who said he always travels with a banana felt the same way?

Now, Becky, I know everything is a blur, but I was with you when the Rasta man stood up in the manhole and said I ALWAYS HAVE MY BANANA WITH ME! A classic moment....

It's kind of like American Express, don't leave home without your banana. I forget what we were talking about when he appeared out of the man hole, but like you I'm sure he is always prepared. Palapa Man.

P.S. You weren't really scared in that golf cart were you, we managed up the hill and nobody fell out. I even managed to grab you guys safely when we ran out of charge again and then the golf cart mysteriously started going again, so Donna's husband almost fell underneath the golf cart, he's still alive, yes he's missing a leg, but he's still alive, just joking everyone, I was driving a little fast but I slowed down when the cart ran out of juice.

Well, we had just finished lunch at Papi's, so we were kind of under the influence already. You were proclaiming your love for everybody, and I suggested that you should invite everyone over for a party (kind of), and you said something about bringing bananas, and up popped Rasta....

Well that's what AC does for you. By the end of the trip I loved everybody, you, Laurie, Kilimanjarowanker, Banana Man, Papi, Ken & Lynne, Maggie, Mickey, you get the jist. I was so sad when I got home and saw that it was too cold to take off my shoes and walk barefoot. Well I'm glad your alive and when I get to Denver, I'M DRIVING!!!!!!

Yes, it was sad to leave. And if you come to Denver, you can drive!!!!!

I never met any of you sober. Hope when I come to Denver I want to hook up with you too. You cracked me up. What a doll. I'm still smiling!!!!!!!!

oh my1!! LOL the rasta man in the manhole had to be our dear friend Willie LOL he IS bananas!! Was he working for BTL??? If so, yep, that's him!!!

Yes, as I was eating my banana this morning, I thought of the rasta guy popping out of the manhole! What a kick!

Laurie

Oh God. I forgot about my sand digging dance. How about my little belly song to those cute puppies?

You and your singing, I really like that song you made up on your last night, I won't sing it on the board, you know the one though, I'm glad you won't quit your day job though. See you in AC again mata colada woman.

Start spreading the news. . .

I'm cracking up over here, rolling I tell you. For all of you who don't get it, Laurie made up this song about this person we met and she sang it from the golf cart all day Friday and Saturday. I guess you had to be there. She's no ordinary attorney, I tell you.

you guys... ya gotta share da photographic memories!! are they postable?!?!?!? what a riot you guys are!!

Hope: I didn't meet you sober! Sober? You were on vacation woman and you were doing just fine! Sorry I didn't make it up to your place, but I was just too busy. Hee hee.

Laurie

Laughing at Jane. I think a jury would get a kick out of it!
