Random things... Tuesday, August 30, 2005

Let's talk about the British Virgin Islands, Tortola and Jost Van Dyke in particular. If you have been then you can relate to what I am about to write. These two islands are just magnificent. Both islands are a lot of fun and very laid back. The locals are great and welcome vacationers. Many people go to the BVI's to charter sailboats so you can imagine what that would be like. A lot of drinking and partying. The BVI'’s are known for a drink called a Pain Killer. It is sooo yummy. It has coconut, rum, and pineapple juice and topped with fresh nutmeg. I love a good painkiller.








Tortola is also know for their Full Moon Parties. One place in particular to go to is the Bomba Shack. It is actually a Shack, a very cool looking shack right on the water. The owner, Bomba is a real character, a true drunk. At the Bomba Shack they are famous for a drink that remains to be a mystery as far as the ingredients. The word on the street is it has some hallucinogenic in it. I can tell you this, I had one and found myself doing things I would not ordinarily do. Do you think I am about to tell you about it, of course not? My sister also had some and she experienced some odd behavior as well. If I tell you what she did I would no longer be writing in my blog. SHE WOULD KILL ME; chop me up in many pieces.




The snorkeling in the BVI'’s is incredible. I could spend an entire day in the water exploring all the reefs. I think I was a fish in a past life, not a gold fish though. They only live a few days if you are lucky. I think maybe I was a clown fish, they are colorful and I imagine funny if they could communicate. To be honest with you I do not even know if there is such a fish, is there?

My mother used to raise Angel fish. Doesn'’t that sound crazy? Who raises or breeds fish?? It was actually very interesting.
I remember sitting by the fish tank looking at all the eggs that were attached to this rod like mechanism. I bet you thought i was crazy about my mother breeding angel fish. I did a little fishing and I found a picture of the rod like mechanism!! I find fish tanks to be very relaxing to look at. I am not a big fan of the fish eggs that they put on sushi. Isn'’t that gross, fish eggs. I once ate them, went to the bathroom I gave birth to little fishes.
