Blogging from San Antonio. Actually on the way back from SA to Houston. P’s on the wheel; so Roopie can blog :D.
We spent the entire weekend in San Antonio at the Sea World. Man, never have we had such a bittersweet experience. First day, both our cameras – point’n’shoot and SLR – got splashed with water and are not working. Yes yes – cue for a sad face – :( :( … We’d try to get it repaired but it’s going to cost a good chunk :( :( … That aside, you do know how much I love my lil cambabies :( :( … Can’t see them not working … That and we had no camera to take pics of our mini-adventures. :( :(
And, second day, today, we went swimming in the wave pool which btw has to be the highlight if the trip. To go to the pool, I had to change into my swimwear which I did and put my day clothes in a bag which I handed to my mother in law. She, being as lovely as she is, took great care of my clothes and P’s clothes.
When we came out of the pool, we took our clothes bags from her and instead of changing onto them immediately, we chose to dry off a bit. I bought a sundress to wear over my swimwear from a shop close by. So we walked ourselves dry and went to a restaurant to feed sis-in-law’s son. While sil, mil and our nephew waited, me and P went to order food. It was at that time when P put his shirt back on and I handed him my bag of clothes. “Give me your sunglasses et al too”, he said, “why are you carrying any weight at all?” I thought a second and said, “nope, I don’t trust you.”
We returned to the table with food, had lunch and were about to leave when I asked him for my clothes. Of course, you knew this was coming … HE LOST MY CLOTHES! Ugh! What were the chances of us finding them in such a huge overcrowded park? You guessed rite: none! I’m thankful to my luckiest stars that I didn’t hand him my shades!! That would’ve been another few hundred dollars in water. May curse be upon him/her who stole my clothes but can you imagine the look on that person’s face when he/she opens the apparent bag of winnings! A year old shirt and a pair of capris! Psssh.
But, guysss, I lost my clothes! Imagine haha. The following pic, forgetfulness-ka-baap, Pati took with this phone rite when we were exiting the park. I am in the dress that I had luckily purchased. If there were no places in the park to buy clothes from, I would’ve had to parade my not so nice bod in lingerie slash swimwear. Gosh! Pliss pour in sympathies. :(
Other than these two incidents, we had a fab time. :) I wish I had pix to relive the tales of these two days. Alas!
Aite I’m sleepy now. Very sleepy. I shall sleep now. We’d let P drive in peace. Night night all. More when we reach Houston slash home.

Hope the Cameras have ‘healed’ up by now. Real sad happening. I like your sundress though. And the important thing to take with you, is that you had a great time. Hugs!
