A person is never too old to play in the sand. Teenagers set to work building, digging, drawing with sticks, anatomically correct sand people, covering each other up with sand, mud and just having a gay old time. …View image… Before you knew it and satiated with beer, I thought we were going to head back to the ship but a Henna Tattoo vendor strolled by and one teenager decided to browse through the design book. …View image… That did it. If one is going to get a tattoo, all decide to get tattoos and it took forever for nine people to carefully look through the many books and decide which one was the perfect tattoo for them. ,,,View image…

Design chosen, the vendor traced the tattoo on whatever part of the body they wanted and started following the lines with a henna paint brush. It takes forever to dry otherwise the lines smudge and is supposed to last for two weeks. I would have to say that this particular vendor made a killing with our family since the tattoos range from $7-$13 U.S. each. I bet he’s glad he stopped by our spot!

The parasail operater helped us find two vans back to the dock for $10 U.S. per van less than what we negotiated coming and everyone started bogeying their way off the sand accompanied by the very loud, pop music from the different restaurants and bars…
