Just got off the golf course and altho the golf wasn't so bad, the company was creepy. It is love bug season and they are pervasive. Getting back into the golf cart, the seats are covered in them, as are the windows, your clubs and they are crawling on your legs and your clothes. Everytime I tried to grab my phone for a pic, they would wander off to some other haunt. Fortunately, they don't bite . May and Sept are their season.
We've been home almost a week. The train to the bus to the plane was very efficient. I listened to a conversation in the seat ahead of us on the train. Two 20 somethings, one hispanic, one kind of scruffy, who didn't know each other at the outset, settled into a conversation for the 90 min ride and I learned that the one had done 9 months in Mexico for cocaine but got out of a 20 yr sentence by paying $8500 to someone....the other was currently in some sort of rehab for drugs and was out again and heading to see his girlfriend.....he had been in rehab 32 times! He has a brother who "always did what his parents expected" and was now in finance and making 7 figures and altho they loved each other, they had nothing in common. His goal was to earn enough to go to Costa Rica and live "naturally" with his girl and raise a family on a farm. The young Mexican seemed to be on a more straight but very narrow path and initially said he didn't do drugs anymore , just a beer or two but as the chat continued, he did admit to doing coke a bit. It was fascinating to hear them talk so openly and honest and with no apparent regard for others listening in. I feigned indifference with my nose in my Kindle and others seemed equally occupied or maybe they've all heard it before. Based on what I heard, I don't give the one kid much hope of ever getting to Costa Rica.
We are working on a new adventure and currently in the 'hurry-up and wait' period. Stay tuned.............
