but ill give it a shot. Too short, for starters. Paradise. Once we
settled in to our beach hut we checked our shoes at the door and
didn't touch them again for 4 days. The sun was so intense that even
though we went through an entire bottle of sunscreen we still ended up
just as tan as after a month in Hawaii. The water was warm but still
refreshing with endless, perfect waves. We had somewhat of a little
community of amazing, crazy fun friends in neighboring huts. Two of
the beach dogs, the governer and Scarface became loyal friends who
would bark at anyone they didn't know walking around our huts at
night. They even followed us to the silent disco and managed to sneak
in so they could hang out while we danced. In the evenings we'd sit w
a cold beer and watch the sun sink into the haze over the ocean. And
in the mornings we convinced our Irish friend, Ger, to greet us w,
'top o the mornin to ya!' every day. Laura nearly had a heart attack
one morning while she was relaxing and waiting for her breakfast and
he crept up behind her. I think for a moment she was convinced that a
leprechan had just sprung out of the bushes. Anyway, apparently, Irish
people don't actually say that...or 'where are me lucky charms?' for
that matter. I don't know why... Id sure as hell use it all the time
if i were Irish.
Our last night there we danced up until the last minute we had
and then left to catch our taxi to the airport. On our walk home, as
we descended onto the beach from a stone path, apparently i got teary
eyed and made everyone stop and watch the ocean in the moonlight
saying over and over, 'its just the most beautiful thing I've ever
seen!'...um yeah i may have had one too many. But it was really
pretty!! As much as i wanted to miss our flight out and end up
'having' to stay another few days, we somehow managed to navigate
through 2 airports and land in Delhi safely. We had a few hours to
sleep and headed straight to an engagement party for our friends jatin
and Pam. Within minutes we were pulled out onto the dancefloor and
taking shots w their friends and family. We were exhausted but the
pure energy and enthusiasm filling the room kept us going. Cousins,
aunts, uncles, grandparents... I don't think I've ever met a family
that loves to dance so much. Its been amazing and a nonstop party...
And we havn't even gotten to the wedding yet!
