I took a break from meetings today to have lunch with a co-worker. We're currently working in the executive club of a large hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico.The rooms are comfortable, and I have a balcony overlooking a waterfall pool. At night, I fall asleep to the sweet sound of chirping coqui.
So Maga and I are sitting at lunch, when I look up and notice her staring over my shoulder and off into the distance, horrified.
"Is that... a coconut and a s-string?" she sputters.
"Wha - WHAT?" I stuttered as delicately as I could, with a face full of lettuce leaves and goat cheese.
I peered over my shoulder to see an old guy in a g-string, walking along the beach in the middle of the day.
My chewing slowed. We were sitting at the hotel's beach restaurant, which opened out onto the sand, and the beach was full of people tanning, and swimming, and playing frisbee.
Other people sitting on the restaurant deck were also staring, and I put down my fork in protest and mumbled "I'm eating!" to no one in particular.
He must have noticed the glare of my camera lens in the sun, or a crowd of us gawking at him like rednecks on bleachers at a NASCAR race, because he began to sway in our direction, shaking his... bom bom.
And then the show began.
Apparently, not only was he extremely self-confident, which was ... highly optimistic and encouraging, given the sparse dimensions of his grape-smuggling attire, but he was also... happy to see us, a photo of which I refuse to post here on this family-oriented blog.Although, you've probably already gone blind.
I didn't eat for the rest of the day.
I may not eat tomorrow.

Ok--EWWWWWW.
But I'd love to see the pic you don't want to post!!! LOL
I was eating too when I decided to catch up on the world o' Mary. My stroganoff just isn't the same now. Aren't you thrilled you found you camera?
remind me never to read your blog again on my lunch break...Dios Mio!
Like Leann and Sonya I was eating when I decided to check on Mary --- I...........well.........um......lunch over.
Oh. My. God.
That is just disgusting beyond all reason. And since Pam said it first, I'll say it too. Where's the other pic??! LOL
I have to ask: why should only women attempt to cover their bottoms with shoelaces?
But then again, where I grew up speedos were the norm, trunks horrified me when I first came to the US, they looked like large parachutes floating in the water around the middle section of what seemed like very insecure male specimens. And I was also known to go to a nudist beach in my younger days... So, I am not quite horrified at this happy dude's pee-pee sun shade, or whatever that little cup thing is.
Thanks for sharing with us the best of your fun in the sun.
I am blind now, thanks Mary.
I'm so thankful that I wasn't eating, drinking or even chewing gum. My poor computer monitor wouldn't have gotten a fair deal from it.
And, POST THE PIC!!! POST THE PIC! LOL!
