TheAnvil 0 #1 March 11, 2004 The JACKASS returned to the forums yesterday after a vacation-induced respite. Headed to Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala to drink tequila, tour Mayan ruins, swim, relax, and scuba dive. Good time all in all, and I ended up WAY under-budget. Read a couple of books (The First American by H.W. Brands is HIGHLY recommended), swam with dolphins, swam/dove a cenote, saw Chichen Itza & Tikal, and dove a TON in Belize (stayed at Caye Caulker). There was a bar in Mexico that had 100+ types of tequila - they called me 'El Borracho' which I found out means 'The Drunkard' in Spanish. The diving in Belize is the best I've ever done, I do believe. Lots of sharks, sting rays, eagle rays, fish, coral, and the infamous BLUE HOLE. Swimming among massive stalagtites/stalagmites down there was cool as hell. The first pic is of me at Chichen Itza in front of Kukulkan pyramid. Hot as HELL that day - I drank two or three liters of water before noon and God knows how many afterwards. The second is one I took off of Caye Caulker, BZ while snorkeling. The third is me about to snag my regulator and enter the Blue Hole. Just thought I'd share a pic or two. Enroute to Jacksonville, FL. Visiting the folks in KY right now. beers to all, Vinny the Anvil Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
