This beach picture is in Cuba and reminds me of a vacation i once had in the Domincan Republic with and EX boyfriend. I had been many times but it was his first trip and so being the big, ba ex marine, when i told him that it is so much hotter and he needed to keep hydrated while at the beach, he ignored me. So while we lay there for hours in the sun, i drank cold water, poured it over my head occasionally and frequently got in the water. He on the other hand, lay there, didnt drink water, refused to have it on his head and didnt get in the water one time. I might mention here that i always lay out topless on the beach and on this occasion had on a neon orange thong with rhinestones across the back of the thong. When we got up to go to lunch, he tried to stand and almost fell, i felt smug till i realised he was sick and not getting any better. Since he was a large man, i didnt want him passing out on me on the beach as few poeple ther speak English and my Spanish isnt good enough to give long detailed information. With no help in sight, i got up, grabbed my bag and helped him toward the huge outdoor showers just down the beach. As we walked along, him leaning heavily on me, a man, half dragging a woamn , intersected our path. Just as i took in their situation, she fell face first into the sand. I told the EX to keep heading toward the showers and turn the showerheads on and stand in them. I went to the man, explained that im a nurse after determing that they were English speaking. I asked her health history and decided she too must be suffering from heat exhaustion. When i turned her over, she was so pale, i was afraid she might die. We dragged her toward the outdoor showers . The heads on the shower wer high and at thigh level for rinsing legs. I leaned her back against my legs, breats on her head and cupped my hands to pour wat over her face and neck to cool her down all the while keepin one eye on the EX , who stood swaying in the water , and trying to calm the nearly hysterical husband. I carefully told him what had happened with her and what to do after we all left the shower. Slowly over 15 to 20 minutes, the EX, was feeling better, the wife was able to talk and sit up by herself, and the husband was calming down. I stood up feeling very good about the situation and turned to see about 6 other people in the shower rinsing off and watching the drama. Suddenly, like a light bulb went off over my head, i realised, i was nearly naked with all these people i did not know. The absurdity of it all almost made me laugh, so i calmly put on my top and pareo, grabbed the EX by the arm and held my laughter till we made it some distance from the shower. How many people can say they saved lives naked? Now there is a vacation memory for you,lol.......jpg)
Found this picture on a Cuban blog, thought id share it too,lol...
As i was driving in the country the other day i saw an old rundown building, very small , by the side of the road with a hand painted sign that said....NOT FOR SALE...made me laugh , so i found this picture to show you the condition of the building. I wish i could have taken one of the real building but i didnt have ny camera with me, but i couldnt help wanting to share it with you, the sense of humor from some farmer!!!
