NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE
Ok, today was my near death experience. I got stung by a stingray!! Can you believe it? Not quite Steve Irwin style, it wasn´t through the heart and so far I am still alive.. but ouch!! Of course something like that would happen to me. Chris was out body boarding in the waves at a beautiful beach in Mancora. I was body surfing, getting dumped loads of times and trying to get the saltwater out of my nose when I felt a sharp jab. It frickin hurt. Chris was telling me it was a rock, but oh no... it was sharp. Lucky enough before I started to fully freak out a local guy came to my rescue!! He promptly began massaging my foot, blood spurting out into the waves. Had no idea what the hell he ws saying to me, but through his missing tooth smile I gathered that I ws not going to die. He told me I should go to the Farmacia and get some pills. So off we went to the pharmacy with a numb leg and pale face, where Chris had to lift me up onto the bench to show the pharmacist my stab wound and while I attempted to draw pictures of stingrays so I got the right thing. Stingray is not in our Spanish phrasebook! After a few cocktails and a little bit of sunshine though, I felt much better and numbness left after a few more!! hehe
