Traveling with the Ancients.
We spent the day in Rihanna’s homeland, Barbados. We had a beautiful beach day despite some light rain, but of course, we had an umbrella…ella…ella. We shared the ocean with a monkey, who was being forced to swim (I hope his owner gets a some flung poo his way), two horses who were lead to water but couldn’t be made to drink, and a Rasta with who knows how many creatures were living in his hair. I’m sure if you did a dread check, several animals could be taken off the endangered species list. We were driven both ways by a driver, who’s eyes resembled the blind sheik. He certainly must have been an optimist, as even if he had sight, he could never look back, as he had no rear-view mirror. Fortunately, the President of Ghana was on the Island creating traffic making a safety barrier.
On another note, I think we stumbled upon a Pinterest cruise with people competing for best door decorations and family communication hacks. There’s dry erase boards letting family members know that they’re at the casino, shopping, and the pool. I saw one saying if the “ships a’rocking, don’t be a’knocking”. These tend to be the same families who wear matching t-shirts everyday with sayings like “Sea our Family Cruising,” or “Oh Ship, Look’s who’s 50,” or my favorite “Pigged out at the buffet, now in the bathroom-Bomb’sAway!” Ok, that last one was mine, but I have no Pinterest in group t-shirts. We also don’t need no stink in’ badges. On the other hand, a nice dry erase board would’ve come in handy.
