Bridge Jumping

Well i'm looking out over the edge...literally. We have taken up a new hobby of BRIDGE JUMPING. There is a bridge about 20 minutes from where i live that looks over the ocean. It is absolutely gorgeous and the water is crystal blue and warm. I won't lie, the first time i jumped off was terrifying. Ya gotta love the adrenaline rush though. I didn't get too daring as you can tell in the video below. Some of the people i was with were doing crazy flippy stunts over that thing. Anyway we had a blast! I'm always up for trying something new and a little daring :)
Getting ready to JUMP....Action shot.. i was a little too worried about getting water up my nose to strike a cool pose.

I'm a little embarrassed about this now. People were making fun of me for being such a baby but as you can hear... i was really scared!

Sail Away Sail Away Sail Away...

I can't believe i've already been here almost two months! Time has flown by. We all decided that we need to start doing all of the things we want to do while we here because we are going to start running out of time! On my day off we booked a sunset sail. It was gorgeous to say the least. There is a reason Key West is known for it's sunsets, they are beautiful.
This drunk old guy made me and michelle get our picture taken with the captain. He seriously would not leave us alone until we went back and asked him if we could. We call him Captain Hottie. haha
This picture looks like it was photo shopped doesn't it? It was so pretty!

I had some issues for a couple of days.
First, i went to Benihanas with a bunch of people. It was really fun and the food was delicious. I'm an extremely picky eater but I decided i was going to try everything they put on my plate. Our chef (Wilmer) threw some shrimp on my plate. I hate sea food, but like i said, i was determined to try everything that night. Big mistake. A little while later I noticed my eye started feeling really funny. It kept getting bigger and bigger and pretty soon i felt like Will Smith in Hitch. Yup.. i'm allergic to shellfish.
Here are some before and after pictures:Before-drinking my Berry Banana HavanaAfter- and this wasn't even when it was at it's prime!

A couple of days after my shrimp incident, i had a run in with what i thought was mesquitos. After much debate, i think it might have been BED BUGS!
57 bites
I thought this stuff ended when i left El Salvador..guess not!
