Two Tall Blondes
Two tall blonds are walking, one of them....................Nancy and I are both 5'11", slender build. You might say we could be book ends. Oh yea we're both blonde living in a world of Mexican and Mayan people. Average height 5'. There are two Mayan women that work at my friends taco stand that can't be more that 4'9". Okay....we stand out in the marina village of Puerto Aventuras. Just walking from our boat to the village center we stick out but, we couldn't cover much ground. Until we started riding our collapsible bikes every where in the village. Now it's those two tall blonds on those (What the hell are those things?)matching collapsible bikes. Nancy could tell you how to say that in Spanish in a second. To clarify it just a bit more what they say is: two tall blonds and the senora who speaks like one of us. Nancy greets everyone we meet in the morning with a hardy" Buenos Dias". An encounter with a waiter is conducted in local tongue as they are mystified by these two tall blonds and Nancy's Spanish. Of course Nancy wearing a bikini top opens a lot of doors. Most of the local hombres are just about boob height but I noticed they always maintain eye contact with her when they know I'm watching. I just smile, nod my head and Nancy tells them I'm her special friend with a vocabulary of a 2 year old. Oh, "but he understands a lot. In Spanish". That's right, I understand like a 2 ½ year old. When she tells them my name is Fernando they really get a puzzled look. Actually I have been really working on my Spanish for almost two months and it's coming along. I know all my numbers from 1-999 so when I ask how much something is I can give them the correct amount without them writing it down for me. I can order in a restaurant and ask for the check. I have to be careful when I ask for directions because they think I speak Spanish. When I just stand there smiling at them not saying a word, Nancy jumps in and helps me understand what they said. Ok, there's reason why men don't ask for directions. When time is right, they will be saying there goes the Two Tall Blonds who speak Spanish like us.

Thanks for the interesting updates for those of us who are still in the "Plenty of Time" mode.
It gives us respite from our worlds of self imposed limitations to be able to be with you and Nancy on your adventure even if it is in a vicarious way.
It's called Playawireless. The wireless internet connection we have had the pleasure of playing with for the last 8 days. You know - just when you have something written up that is full of wit & charm - it kicks you off. Of course you didn't save it 1st or put it in docs because you didn't think of it. So now we are learning to do so. I have been sitting here trying to upload a doc onto sailblogs for about 3 hrs. Every time I think I've got it, it kicks me off at the last minute. So now Fernando is trying his patience. I was playing solitaire while waiting, he is reading his book. So if you don't hear from us anymore, it means we have thrown the computers into the ocean & have given up.
