The Honeymoon, continued...
So, besides eating way too much, and somehow avoiding drinking way too much, we didn't do too much else (that you all need details about). There was a lot of relaxing. We relaxed on lounge chairs on the beach, we relaxed in the hammock, in the jacuzzi, on the bed, etc. And we did some swimming in this little, fairly private lagoon on the beach, where the water was amazingly beautiful and warm, and where we were surrounded by awesome wild life (see pics). Unfortunately, some of the wildlife didn't agree with me.
Wednesday, after breakfast, I noticed 2 red, raised spots on my arm, the upper one about the size of a quarter, the lower one slightly smaller. They itched just a little. So I just assumed they were some sort of allergic reaction, as that's exactly what they looked like. But then they got worse. They started to burn, and blister (like a severe second degree burn). And then they burned worse. If I would brush up against anything, they felt like someone was holding a curling iron to my arm. And the area around the spots was getting red and warm. I really started freaking out a little bit, as I had no idea what was going on. I was in a foreign country, and some mysterious ailment seemed to be spreading over my arm. And being the cheap ass I am, I wasn't gonna pay $75 for a hotel doctor to come tell me that he had no idea what was going on with my arm. So I bought some burn cream from a Mexican pharmacy, and an Ace Bandage, kept my arm away from everything. The expanding red area receded, but the blisters on the top spot expanded into one giant blister. When I got home Friday, I searched around online, and decided that I was stung by a sea anenome. Which is unusual, because they don't usually sting people, accept on the sensitive parts of the body, like the inside of THE ARM. Even with my injuries, I have to go with the unpopular malady.
I still have the glaring red marks, but they've stopped hurting, and I'm on the way to recovery (whether it will be a full recovery or not is yet to be seen, I may be left w/ some cool scars). If you're interested in my plight, I've posted some of my nasty pics.
We came back on Fourth of July, and I got to fulfill my childhood dream of seeing fireworks from the top. It was pretty cool.
So, we had a great honeymoon. Very relaxing. And I loved the resort. There were some things I missed doing, like snorkling, but that just means we have to go back.
I didn't let any of those little set backs ruin my time, I never do. Whoo-hoo for honeymoons!
Next time, my adventures back home.
