Honeymoon 2











The white beach, our room, and Dasheene!








Dasheene is voted the best restaurant on the island and they did deserve it. We enjoyed fresh ceviche, king fish and black squid ink risotto, just to name a few. The only bad part about the restaurant was the wine list. Peter decided to order wine and decided to go for something neither him nor Monica had ever tasted. It was a chilean wine, which neither of us can remember the name, but what we do remember is that the following has never before happened; We actually left about half the bottle on the table because it was that terrible. We took a picture to proove it and to warn all you loved ones to never order this wine. Another interesting story about Dasheene is that many movie stars dine there. One in particular that is a regular, is Oprah, not that we are fans of her, but it was kind of interesting hearing the locals talk about her and how she comes in to the island in a huge yacht, just to dine at Dasheene.








The moral of the story: Don't ever order this wine ! LOL

A broom and the salt bottle

So we finally moved this weekend! How is it that we still have so much crap??? The move is really what inspired this blog story. I've been with Monica for some years now and during those years, we have had MANY moves, so I still don't now how Monica's superstitious "Colombian" beliefs still amuse me! According to Monica's family, when one moves, they leave behind the old broom and the bottle of salt. The reason is because you leave the bad luck from the old home (symbolized by the broom and salt bottle) and you buy new ones representing the good luck that will come in the new home. The funny part is that I can probably write a book regarding Monica and her family's superstitions (spiders, flies, pearls, dolls, glass breaking, the list goes on and on, but those other stories will be for future blogs). For now let's focus on the broom and the salt. It was our first night in the new place, monIca and I decided to grill out in celebration for a ha...

Gain or no Gain

So quick funny story.... It might be one of those "you had to be there stories" but I will try since it caused a lot of laughter for us. Last sunday we were at Sam's club buying our monthly stuff. We knew we needed detergent so we went to the cleaning aisle and looked for the gain detergent that we have been buying for many months now. It was such a great deal, we would get 133 onz for a little over 9 dollars. That's many many many loads of laundry. So as we walked down the aisle, I realized Peter had overlooked our great "gain" bottle. I yelled down the aisle "Pete it's right here, this is the one". Peter turns and smiles, holding in the laughter. He then said, well....now I know why our detergent has been sooooooo inexpensive. He then continued by saying, look at the bottle a little closer. We had been using the same bottle for such a long time now that I felt I knew every color, every letter, felt like a could describe the handle...
