Misery, life is thy name

snaplesSo, I'm back from Cuba (since last Sunday), and was supposed to be back at work on Monday. I am still home. Why? Because Fate decided to deal me a lovely package consisting of Laryngitis (not quite the innocuous voice-robbing virus I used to think it was) and Sinusite (sp?). And guess what? It started in Cuba and thus ruined my last two days in Paradise.
BUT, despite that, I did have a lovely time, and the wedding was *gorgeous* and ohmygodiswamwithdolphins! The hotel itself is beautiful, and we were blessed with one main beach, and three virgin beaches (caleticas) which were absolutely awe-inspiring. I did a bit of snorkeling and was shocked to see that fish actually swim UP to you, and if you perchance bring bread, they eat it right out of your hands!
I also visited outside the hotel to Guardalavarca (sp?) and bought a shitload of hand-made souvenirs, and not to mention cigars.
But boy, is it ever HOT over there. I think I have a new appreciation for our balmy summers here in Montreal (if only it could be summer all year round, though). I prefer them over the sun-stroke-inducing heat in Cuba (my boyfriend and a friend each got a sun stroke ... not a pretty sight).
Oh, did I mention the lovely rum we now have? :D
EDIT: We met two absolutely fantastic couples from London during our stay in Cuba, and have now made penpals of them. One of them is an adoring fan of Harry Potter, Alan Rickman and Geoffrey Rush. :D :D
