hello...this is mando...i'm sweet and hard to beat...ayoooooooo.
we just got home from our cruise in the carribian. the weather kind of sucked (really sucked actually) (windy and cooler than we would have liked) but it was a helluva lot warmer than here so we loved it. we went to miami, then to coco key, then to nassau, then back to miami, and now we're drinking orange juice back here in the Grove. it was to windy and wavy out to take a boat from the cruise ship to the small beach island Coco Key so we didn't get to relax on the beach at all. i was pretty bumed. Mandy was too, "but i still had a good time," said she. the day our captain decided it was to rough of seas for the little boats to bring us to shore he decided to just bomb around in the open seas searching for sun.
we did a lot of sleeping. we'd wake up early, eat breakfast, then go lay on the top deck by the pool and read and nap in the sun (when it wasn't being antisocial hiding behind clouds.) then we'd get ready for dinner. every night there was a fancy 4 course dinner. i tried escargot (snail) for the first time. it was delicious. every night i ordered the thing on the menu i couldn't read. i figured because i couldn't read it, i probably haven't tried it. i was right. everything i had was actually really good. i can't remember everything i ate but here is what i remember: snail, roasted duck, ox tail soup, raw salmon, catfish, a rack of lamb, & scallops to name a few.
because of the cancled day at coco key we made it to nassau a night early, so tyler, mandy, and myself went for a couple drinks at senior frogs. and by a couple i mean we got shitfaced. then on the walk back to the ship we did some freestyle walking (of course.) tyler did some dancing with the locals. the bartenders gave out free shots too. we just lined up and they stood on stools around the bar, and when we got to them we just opened up and in poured the booze. we stumbled back to the ship in time for the late night pizza buffet.
the next day was cool again and we did some more laying by the pool then that night cruised back to miami where we got off and caught a flight back home. it was a short trip but a goodie. the sun recharges the batteries, ya know?!

Oh my god, how much I crave the sunshine is ridiculous. I think it get you through winter as a matter of fact. I'm going down south soon and hope it is warm and sunny the whole time.
Also, I'm SO glad you tried all those new foods! They are all fabulous...and now your list of 'things to eat' is way bigger, which means you can eat WAY more. Think about it.
fantastic.
