Bee Stings and Rain
Gina and I arrived safely in Cancun Saturday evening and had a relaxing time walking around the resort, eating a great dinner, and generally being lazy. A great start to vacation.
But then Sunday morning decided to play with us. As we were walking from the hotel we came across a mad swarm of bees that, it turns out, were quite aggressive. Gina got away safely but I ended up getting stung in the face three times. Fortunately I’m not allergic so after about half an hour of resting in our room we set back out to see the shopping in Cancun.
I’ve got some photos from Wal-Mart that I should post (they had a few quite cool toys that I never see at home), but in general we didn’t find anything that we just had to have. The flea market was a real letdown with shop after shop of identical crap.
Today is a heavy rain day so we’re sitting in one of the lounges here in the hotel reading and doing a lot of nothing. So there’s nothing fun or interesting to report, but I am starting to unwind from works of stress at the office.
Now the itching sets in!
At least it wasn’t a cold or flu?
Sorry to hear that.
We had a high-speed blow-out on the way to our vacation, my wife got sun-stroke, I got gout and our middle child got a stomach bug. Sounds as if we both had a good time then…
@Iok – In the end we had a great time in Cancun. I’ve gotta get pics posted (especially of the various toys I spotted at Wal-Mart in Cancun). That first day had me wondering what was gonna happen, but I’m very glad that we went.
Yeah, our vacation picked-up from there (although I doubt it could have gone any lower!) so it’s all good.
And I spotted your tweets about the toys. It’ll be good to see the pics!
