When the plane landed in Cancun, I realized that I had forgotten my chopsticks at home. How could I fight without my beloved chopsticks?! Certainly not with my bare hands... Thankfully, nothing major happened during the first few days and I was relieved when we went to a Japanese restaurant and I was able to "borrow" cheap wood chopsticks.
I was finally ready for Mexican supervillains! But I didn't meet any. The only annoying people I met were noisy neighbors (I love it when they start to party with their friends at 3 am), a few drunk tourists and pushy salesmen (Yes, your hats are nice; no, I don't want them; um, do I seriously look like a cigar smoker?!).
I learned early on that the competition was ferocious here in the Riviera Maya. Spiderman effigies are everywhere! Proof:
Although my holidays have been quiet so far, I still learned some lessons:
1- I look ridiculous with a cape and flip flops! And my big toes are fat.
2- No matter what my mom says, sea water doesn't cure everything.
3- A Mexican Laura Li is nice, but a Canadian Laura Ly is better.
4- Even superheroes can get sunburned.
5- A beach towel can be used as a cape, but people won't take you seriously.
6- Drinking alcohol does reduce your superpowers.
Now if you'll excuse me, there's a piña colada waiting for me on the beach... If crime hits, feel free to call Spiderman!
